Subject: [PATCH] fdtoverlay: Prevent overlays from modifying phandle
 properties
To: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>,
    Jon Loeliger <jdl@jdl.com>,
    devicetree-compiler@vger.kernel.org
Cc: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>,
    Pantelis Antoniou <pantelis.antoniou@konsulko.com>,
    Scott Murray <scott.murray@konsulko.com>,
    Jan Simon Moeller <jsmoeller@linuxfoundation.org>

When applying an overlay fragment, we should take care not to overwrite
an existing phandle property of the target node as this could break
references to the target node elsewhere in the base dtb.

In addition to potentially breaking references within the resulting fdt,
if the overlay is built with symbols enabled (`-@` option to dtc) then
fdtoverlay will be unable to merge the overlay with a base dtb file.

A new test case is added to check how fdtoverlay handles this case.
Attempting to apply this test overlay without the fix in this patch
results in the following output:

    input  = tests/overlay_base_ref.test.dtb
    output = tests/overlay_overlay_ref.fdtoverlay.dtb
    overlay[0] = tests/overlay_overlay_ref.test.dtb

    Failed to apply 'tests/overlay_overlay_ref.test.dtb': FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND

In this test case the __overlay__ node in question does not explicitly
contain a phandle property in the dts file, the phandle is added during
compilation as it is referenced by another node within the overlay dts.

This failure occurs due to a sequence of events in the functions called
by fdt_overlay_apply():

1) In overlay_fixup_phandles(), the target of the overlay fragment is
   looked up and the target property is set to the phandle of the target
   node.

2) In overlay_merge(), the target node is looked up by phandle via
   overlay_get_target(). As the __overlay__ node in this test case
   itself has a phandle property, the phandle of the target node is
   modified.

3) In overlay_symbol_update(), the target node is again looked up by
   phandle via overlay_get_target(). But this time the target node
   cannot be found as its phandle property was modified.

The fix for this issue is to skip modification of the phandle property
of the target node in step (2) of the above sequence. If the target node
doesn't already contain a phandle property, we can add one without risk.
