This adds support for specifying FDT overlays in an extlinux/pxelinux configuration file.
Without this, there is no simple way to apply overlays when the kernel and fdt is loaded by the pxe command.
This change adds the 'fdtoverlays' keyword for a label, supporting multiple overlay files to be applied on top of the fdt specified in the 'fdt' or 'devicetree' keyword.
Example: label linux
kernel /Image devicetree /soc-board.dtb
This should be "fdt /soc-board.dtb",
fdtoverlays /soc-board-function.dtbo append console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwaitThis code makes usage of a new variable called fdtoverlay_addr_r used to load the overlay files without overwritting anything important.

Hi Tom,
This is repost of my last year's attempt. It fills a hole to allow loading FDT overlays using PXE/Extlinux without using FIT.
V2 adds documentation.
Thanks for following up. I assume this follows what the spec says for this file?
Which specs? Official extlinux configuration specs [1] don't say anything about device tree files, so anything related to that is an extension (I hope I found correct specs). I think this one is extremely useful, users can easily specify which overlay file(s) they want to be applied in a text file.
Best regards, Jernej
