Thanks for the testing.  I'll keep chasing after this problem today.

This is useful data for me as I was not looking under the /sys/bus/...
tree that you reported, but was instead looking at /proc/device-tree/...
which showed the same type of problem since the overlay I was using
does not show up under /sys/bus/...

I'll have to create a useful overlay test case that will show up under
/sys/bus/...

In the meantime, can you send me the base FDT and the overlay FDT for
your test case?

Thanks,

Frank
