Currently, in an overlay fdt fragment, it needs to specify the exact
location in base DT. In another word, when the fdt fragment is generated,
the base DT location for the fragment is already known.
There is new use case that the base DT location is unknown when fdt
fragment is generated. For example, the add-on device provide a fdt
overlay with its firmware to describe its downstream devices. Because it
is add-on device which can be plugged to different systems, its firmware
will not be able to know the overlay location in base DT. Instead, the
device driver will load the overlay fdt and apply it to base DT at runtime.
In this case, of_overlay_fdt_apply() needs to be extended to specify
the target node for device driver to apply overlay fdt.
int overlay_fdt_apply(..., struct device_node *base);

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
