New unittests for overlay notifiers reveal a memory leak in
of_overlay_apply() when a notifier returns an error for action
OF_OVERLAY_POST_APPLY.  The pr_err() message is:

   OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 3,
   of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach
   overlay node /testcase-data/overlay-node/test-bus/test-unittest17

Change the error path to no longer call free_overlay_changeset(),
and document that the caller of of_overlay_fdt_apply() may choose
to remove the overlay.

Update the unittest that triggered the error to expect the changed
return values and to call of_overlay_remove().

The values of enum of_overlay_notify_action are used to index into
array of_overlay_action_name.  Add an entry to of_overlay_action_name
for the value recently added to of_overlay_notify_action.

Array of_overlay_action_name[] is moved into include/linux/of.h
adjacent to enum of_overlay_notify_action to make the connection
between the two more obvious if either is modified in the future.

The only use of of_overlay_action_name is for error reporting in
overlay_notify().  All callers of overlay_notify() report the same
error, but with fewer details.  Remove the redundant error reports
in the callers.

Fix various kfree() issues related to of_overlay_apply().
  - Double kfree() of fdt and tree when init_overlay_changeset()
    returns an error.
  - free_overlay_changeset() free the root of the unflattened
    overlay (variable tree) instead of the memory that contains
    the unflattened overlay.
  - For the case of a failure during applying an overlay, move kfree()
    of new_fdt and overlay_mem into free_overlay_changeset(), which
    is called by the function that allocated them.
  - For the case of removing an overlay, the kfree() of new_fdt and
    overlay_mem remains in free_overlay_changeset().
  - Check return value of of_fdt_unflatten_tree() for error instead
    of checking the returned value of overlay_root.
  - When storing pointers to allocated objects in ovcs, do so as
    near to the allocation as possible instead of in deeply layered
    function.

More clearly document policy related to lifetime of pointers into
overlay memory.

Variables change name across function calls when there is not a good
reason to do so.  Fix by changing "fdt" to "new_fdt" and "tree" to
"overlay_root".

The name disparity was confusing when creating the following commit.
The name changes are in this separate commit to make review of the
following commmit less complex.

We should not break overlay notifications on NOTIFY_{OK|STOP}
otherwise we might break on the first fragment. We should only stop

Variable ret is set to zero but this value is never read as it is
overwritten with a new value later on, hence it is a redundant
assignment and can be removed.

Cleans up the following clang-analyzer warning:

Pull devicetree updates from Rob Herring:

 - Refactor powerpc and arm64 kexec DT handling to common code. This
   enables IMA on arm64.

 - Add kbuild support for applying DT overlays at build time. The first
   user are the DT unittests.

 - Fix kerneldoc formatting and W=1 warnings in drivers/of/

 - Fix handling 64-bit flag on PCI resources

 - Bump dtschema version required to v2021.2.1

 - Enable undocumented compatible checks for dtbs_check. This allows
   tracking of missing binding schemas.

 - DT docs improvements. Regroup the DT docs and add the example schema
   and DT kernel ABI docs to the doc build.

 - Convert Broadcom Bluetooth and video-mux bindings to schema

 - Add QCom sm8250 Venus video codec binding schema

 - Add vendor prefixes for AESOP, YIC System Co., Ltd, and Siliconfile
   Technologies Inc.

 - Cleanup of DT schema type references on common properties and
   standard unit properties

'*ovcs_id' causes a warning because '*' is treated as bold markup:

Documentation/devicetree/kernel-api:56: ../drivers/of/overlay.c:1184: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.

Fix this by using the normal '@' markup for function parameters. That
appears to be enough to keep the '*' from being interpretted as markup.

<id>48d499bd89191b359a6dbe44d32107e3021571c2</id>
<content type='text'>
The Devicetree standard specifies an 8 byte alignment of the FDT.
Code in libfdt expects this alignment for an FDT image in memory.
kmemdup() returns 4 byte alignment on openrisc.  Replace kmemdup()
with kmalloc(), align pointer, memcpy() to get proper alignment.

The 4 byte alignment exposed a related bug which triggered a crash
on openrisc with:
commit 79edff12060f ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9")

The Devicetree standard specifies an 8 byte alignment of the FDT.
Code in libfdt expects this alignment for an FDT image in memory.
kmemdup() returns 4 byte alignment on openrisc.  Replace kmemdup()
with kmalloc(), align pointer, memcpy() to get proper alignment.

The 4 byte alignment exposed a related bug which triggered a crash
on openrisc with:

fdt_get_name() returns error values via a parameter pointer
instead of in function return.  Fix check for this error value
in populate_node() and callers of populate_node().

Chasing up the caller tree showed callers of various functions
failing to initialize the value of pointer parameters that
can return error values.  Initialize those values to NULL.

The bug was introduced by
commit e6a6928c3ea1 ("of/fdt: Convert FDT functions to use libfdt")
but this patch can not be backported directly to that commit
because the relevant code has further been restructured by
commit dfbd4c6eff35 ("drivers/of: Split unflatten_dt_node()")

The bug became visible by triggering a crash on openrisc with:
commit 79edff12060f ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9")
