Frank Rowand d1651b03c2 of: overlay: add overlay symbols to live device tree
Add overlay __symbols__ properties to live tree when an overlay
is added to the live tree so that the symbols are available to
subsequent overlays.

Expected test result is new __symbols__ entries for labels from
the overlay after this commit.

Before this commit:

   Console error message near end of unittest:
      ### dt-test ### FAIL of_unittest_overlay_high_level():2296 Adding overlay 'overlay_bad_symbol' failed
      ### dt-test ### end of unittest - 190 passed, 1 failed

   The new unittest "fails" because the expected result of loading the
   new overlay is an error instead of success.

   $ # node hvac-medium-2 exists because the overlay loaded
   $ # since the duplicate symbol was not detected
   $ cd /proc/device-tree/testcase-data-2/substation@100/
   $ ls
   compatible     hvac-medium-2  motor-8        reg
   hvac-large-1   linux,phandle  name           status
   hvac-medium-1  motor-1        phandle

   $ cd /proc/device-tree/__symbols__/
   $ ls
   electric_1   lights_1     name         rides_1      spin_ctrl_2
   hvac_1       lights_2     retail_1     spin_ctrl_1

After this commit:

   Previous console error message no longer occurs, but expected error
   occurs:
      OF: overlay: Failed to apply prop @/__symbols__/hvac_1
      OF: overlay: apply failed '/__symbols__'
      ### dt-test ### end of unittest - 191 passed, 0 failed

   $ # node hvac-medium-2 does not exist because the overlay
   $ # properly failed to load due to the duplicate symbol
   $ cd /proc/device-tree/testcase-data-2/substation@100/
   $ ls
   compatible     hvac-medium-1  motor-1        name           reg
   hvac-large-1   linux,phandle  motor-8        phandle        status

   $ cd /proc/device-tree/__symbols__/
   $ ls
   electric_1      lights_1        retail_1        ride_200_right  spin_ctrl_2
   hvac_1          lights_2        ride_200        rides_1
   hvac_2          name            ride_200_left   spin_ctrl_1
   $ cat ride_200; echo
   /testcase-data-2/fairway-1/ride@200
   $ cat ride_200_left ; echo
   /testcase-data-2/fairway-1/ride@200/track@10
   $ cat ride_200_right ; echo
   /testcase-data-2/fairway-1/ride@200/track@20

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
