Why /proc? Did you consider using the firmware loading mechanism? While
I expressed concerned about the capebus approach, the loading of
overlays needs to remain under the control of either a driver or the
platform. By default it should not be possible to drop an arbitrary
overlay into /proc/device-tree-overlay and have things change in the
base tree. Along the same lines, I would expect for the device driver or
platform to be able to filter or limit the parts of the tree that are
allowed to be modified.
A side benefit of the firmware loader is that the kernel can obtain the
overlay on its own if needed at boot time without userspace involvement.
