OK, so device tree config fs interface?

Err, user writeable, world readable. “-rw-r--r—"

Yes, it does.

TBH this is more of a debug level interface. The way I see it a different
overlay manager, that’s tuned to the platform, should handle the overlay
request and application, in a manner that’s not directly open to user
control. For example in a beaglebone you’d have a ‘cape’ manager reading
the i2c eeproms and request the overlays they match without any user-space
implication.

However, this is an interface that developers will use daily, so I agree
that we need to look into the security model now before it’s too late.

How do you feel for something like this in chosen:

overlay-targets = “/ocp”, “/pinctrl”;

That would allow overlays to target the ocp and pinctrl nodes (and all their
children). To allow overlays to attach everywhere just use

overlay-targets = “/“;

Admittedly we could use some help here.
