[PATCH v2 4/4] of: improve reporting invalid overlay target path

From: frowand . list
Date: Mon Feb 12 2018 - 03:55:54 EST


From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>

Errors while developing the patch to create of_overlay_fdt_apply()
exposed inadequate error messages to debug problems when overlay
devicetree fragment nodes contain an invalid target path. Improve
the messages in find_target_node() to remedy this.
