[PATCH 0/2] of: overlay: avoid potential null pointer exception

[Michael Riesch]

Hi all,

The function of_overlay_fix_path returns NULL in certain error cases but
of_overlay_apply_symbols (which is the only caller) does not check the
return value. For broken overlays this may result in a null pointer
exception. Fix this by checking the return value and inform the user
what exactly went wrong. To this end, improve the error handling in
of_overlay_apply_tree.

The thread [0] gives a bit more context.

Best regards,
Michael
