[PATCH] of: overlay: Avoid spurious error messages in of_overlay_remove()
From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Fri Oct 24 2025 - 15:51:43 EST
Make of_overlay_remove() tolerate ovcs_id being 0 without logging an error.

This is needed for drivers/misc/rp1/rp1_pci.c where things are taken from
DT or at runtime. In the former case, ovcs_id is unused and left to 0.
Being able to tolerate such cases simplify error handling.
This was suggested by Dan as a reply to patch [1].
