[PATCH] of/overlay: add of overlay notifications

From: Alan Tull
Date: Thu Feb 25 2016 - 18:39:15 EST


This patch add of overlay notifications.

When DT overlays are being added, some drivers/subsystems
need to see device tree overlays before the changes go into
the live tree.

This is distinct from reconfig notifiers that are
post-apply or post-remove and which issue very granular
notifications without providing access to the context
of a whole overlay.

The following 4 notificatons are issued:
OF_OVERLAY_PRE_APPLY
OF_OVERLAY_POST_APPLY
OF_OVERLAY_PRE_REMOVE
OF_OVERLAY_POST_REMOVE

In the case of pre-apply notification, if the notifier
returns error, the overlay will be rejected.

This patch exports two functions for registering/unregistering
notifications:
of_overlay_notifier_register(struct notifier_block *nb)
of_overlay_notifier_unregister(struct notifier_block *nb)

The notification data includes pointers to the overlay
target and the overlay:

struct of_overlay_notify_data {
struct device_node *overlay;
struct device_node *target;
};
