Opps, that was a copy-paste error.  Even with that, I still get the
failure to overlay:


=> run loadfdt
65932 bytes read in 6 ms (10.5 MiB/s)
=> fdt addr $fdt_addr
Working FDT set to 48000000
=> fdt resize 8192
=> fdt apply 0xe631e588
=> fdt print /reserved-memory
libfdt fdt_path_offset() returned FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND
