If the overlay references a firmware, the overlay must not be applied if
the firmware cannot be loaded. However, if the target node of the
firmware (i.e., the firmware manager) was not found, the fragment was
ignored and the firmware not loaded, but the overlay applied anyway.
If the overlay does not reference a firmware, of_process_overlay must
succeed even if the target node cannot be found, because the overlay
might still apply to the Linux device tree.
Always call the process function on a fragment, even if the target node
was not found. This allows the caller to decide, if a missing target is
fatal or if the overlay can be applied anyway.
Fix load_firmware to fail if a overlay references a firmware and the
target is NULL. Also, rephrase and clarify the comment that documents
this behavior.
