I only looked if the changes from the second overlay were present in
the merge and they were. And so I assumed that it must have worked.

What about checking the base dtb for /plugin/; in fdtoverlay and fail
the whole thing in case it is present ? I think it is possible for
people to get confused otherwise, like I did.
