[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/5] uboot overlays and FIT image

This patch allows uboot to handle overlays in a manner that uses
a base DT blob and an arbitrary number of DT overlays blobs.

It is intended to be used with FIT images since handling a multitude
of device tree blobs manually is a chore.

The first 3 patches have already been submitted to DTC for review, and
provide the plumbing in libfdt.

The next patch adds a unit test for a stacked overlay (in which an
overlay refers to a symbol contained in a previously applied overlay).

The last patch contains the FIT FDT blob generation logic as well
as documentation about how it all works.

The patchset is available at

	https://github.com/pantoniou/u-boot/tree/uboot-overlays

and is against mainline u-boot as pulled today, 30/6/2017.

Pantelis Antoniou (5):
  libfdt.h: Introduce FDT_PATH_MAX
  libfdt_env.h: Add <malloc.h> in libfdt environment
  fdt: Allow stacked overlays phandle references
  test: overlay: Add unit test for stacked overlay
  fit: Introduce methods for applying overlays on fit-load
