The purpose of 'path' and what determines its name is not really
clear. The documentation should be clear enough that a user knowing no
details of overlays can be handed a dtbo file and pointer to the
documentation and they can apply it without further information.

This description should be put into a file in Documentation/. Probably
Documentation/devicetree/ since it is a kernel interface and not a
bindings.

Is it feasible to make this a module (perhaps all of the overlay support)?

This file is only compiled with this defined, so it isn't needed.

Remove the blank lines.

Do you plan to expand this? If not, just use bool.

Seems like this would be common pattern. There are no helpers to do this?

"if (!overlay->overlay)" is preferred.

overlay->node would be better naming.

This really applies to the previous patches, but there's not much
consistency in the function naming. It is not clear what of_overlay
does.

I would prefix all funcitons of_overlay_* and call this one
of_overlay_apply (or finalize?).

This needs some clean-up with multiple jump labels. You shouldn't need
the if statements and you cal release_firmware on request_firmware
error.

This needs to be added to the above mentioned documentation along with
any other files.

These pr_info prints are not necessary you can use initcall_debug.

Does this really need to be late_initcall?
