Wouldn't this result in the firmware being loaded whenever of_fix_tree is
called? Then, every use of the of_dump or of_diff commands would result in a
reload of the firmware.

This drops the check, if the overlay depends on firmware, which cannot be
loaded, because Barebox could not resolve the overlay. This might be OK,
because in this case, we also don't know if the target is an fpga-region.
Looks fragile to me, anyway.

The firmware must be loaded before the overlay is applied. If the firmware
cannot be loaded, the device tree must not be modified.
