[PATCH 16/45] libfdt: Add overlay application function

From: Maxime Ripard <maxime.ripard at free-electrons.com>
The device tree overlays are a good way to deal with user-modifyable
boards or boards with some kind of an expansion mechanism where we can
easily plug new board in (like the BBB, the Raspberry Pi or the CHIP).
Add a new function to merge overlays with a base device tree.
