Frank Rowand 2fe0e8769d of: overlay: check prevents multiple fragments touching same property
Add test case of two fragments updating the same property.  After
adding the test case, the system hangs at end of boot, after
after slub stack dumps from kfree() in crypto modprobe code.

Multiple overlay fragments adding, modifying, or deleting the same
property is not supported.  Add check to detect the attempt and fail
the overlay apply.

Before this patch, the first fragment error would terminate
processing.  Allow fragment checking to proceed and report all
of the fragment errors before terminating the overlay apply. This
is not a hot path, thus not a performance issue (the error is not
transient and requires fixing the overlay before attempting to
apply it again).

After applying this patch, the devicetree unittest messages will
include:

   OF: overlay: ERROR: multiple fragments add, update, and/or delete property /testcase-data-2/substation@100/motor-1/rpm_avail

   ...

   ### dt-test ### end of unittest - 212 passed, 0 failed

The check to detect two fragments updating the same property is
folded into the patch that created the test case to maintain
bisectability.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
