* of: overlay: rework overlay apply and remove kfree()sFrank Rowand2022-04-251-4/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix various kfree() issues related to of_overlay_apply(). - Double kfree() of fdt and tree when init_overlay_changeset() returns an error. - free_overlay_changeset() free the root of the unflattened overlay (variable tree) instead of the memory that contains the unflattened overlay. - For the case of a failure during applying an overlay, move kfree() of new_fdt and overlay_mem into free_overlay_changeset(), which is called by the function that allocated them. - For the case of removing an overlay, the kfree() of new_fdt and overlay_mem remains in free_overlay_changeset(). - Check return value of of_fdt_unflatten_tree() for error instead of checking the returned value of overlay_root. - When storing pointers to allocated objects in ovcs, do so as near to the allocation as possible instead of in deeply layered function. More clearly document policy related to lifetime of pointers into overlay memory.

* docs: dt: Make 'Devicetree' wording more consistentRob Herring2021-03-271-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a variety of ways 'Devicetree' has been written. This is most evident in the documentation build contents where we have 'Device Tree', 'DeviceTree', etc. The DT spec has somewhat standardized on 'Devicetree', so let's use that.
