Merge tag 'overlay_apply_fdt_v7-for-4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frowand/linux into dt/next

DT overlay applying rework from Frank Rowand:
"Move duplicating and unflattening of an overlay flattened devicetree
(FDT) into the overlay application code.  To accomplish this,
of_overlay_apply() is replaced by of_overlay_fdt_apply()."
