[PATCH v2 0/2] {vision/navigation}-mezzanine: Fix overlay root node

From: Nikita Travkin
Date: Thu Feb 27 2025 - 09:42:54 EST


While considering to propose WoA EL2 dt overlays upstream I was looking
at existing overlays and noticed that some of them are broken: they put
seemingly meaningful fixups into the overlay's "/" node, which places
them into the overlay "metadata" itself, not into a fixup fragment to be
applied to the actual dtb. This series fixes those two by changing to
full path "&{/}" which should work as it was initially intended.

See demonstration of the problem below:

$ cat base.dts
/dts-v1/;
/ {
compatible = "fake,board";
fake,value = <42>;
};

$ cat extra.dtso
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
foo;
bar { baz; };
};
&{/} { whatever-comes-next-after-baz; };

$ dtc base.dts -o base.dtb
$ dtc extra.dtso -o extra.dtbo
$ fdtoverlay -i base.dtb -o combine.dtb extra.dtbo
$ dtc base.dtb
/dts-v1/;

/ {
compatible = "fake,board";
fake,value = <0x2a>;
};

$ dtc extra.dtbo
/dts-v1/;

/ {
foo;

bar {
baz;
};

fragment@0 {
target-path = "/";

__overlay__ {
whatever-comes-next-after-baz;
};
};
};

$ dtc combine.dtb
/dts-v1/;

/ {
whatever-comes-next-after-baz;
compatible = "fake,board";
fake,value = <0x2a>;
};

In the resulting dtb foo bar and baz are missing.
