Hi,

this series add the support to load FIT image supplied devicetree overlays.
The v1 of this series can be found here [1].
                                                                                                                                                       
The overlay loading wasn't coupled to bootm due to the following
reasons:
 - By making use of the common overlay handling we can specifiy a
   different/separate FIT image which provides only overlays.
 - It should be possible to apply FIT image overlay to the barebox
   live-tree (not implemented yet).
 - Loading a single overlay takes ~20ms (depending on the overlay size)
   if the same FIT image is used to supply the kernel, initrd,
   devicetree and devicetree-overlays. This is an improvement compared to
   the v1 of this series which required ~1sec.

Regards,
  Marco
