Wasn't there a define for that elsewhere ?

Is fdt_align used anywhere in this function ?

On a side note, it seems messy that of_overlay_apply() calls kfree on error.
That would probably be better handled in the calling code.

fdt doesn't point to the aligned fdt, though. ovcs->fdt is the allocated fdt.

size includes FDT_ALIGN_SIZE, so that copies beyond the end of the buffer
(or I am missing something).

Unless I am missing something, this copies beyond the end of unittest_data
because FDT_ALIGN_SIZE was added to size. Maybe leave size alone and
allocate size + FDT_ALIGN_SIZE ?

Same as above, really.
