This patch enables an overlay to refer to a previous overlay's
labels by performing a merge of symbol information at application
time.

In a nutshell it allows an overlay to refer to a symbol that a previous
overlay has defined. It requires both the base and all the overlays
to be compiled with the -@ command line switch so that symbol
information is included.

base.dts
--------

	/dts-v1/;
	/ {
		foo: foonode {
			foo-property;
		};
	};

	$ dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o base.dtb base.dts

bar.dts
-------

	/dts-v1/;
	/plugin/;
	/ {
		fragment@1 {
			target = <&foo>;
			__overlay__ {
				overlay-1-property;
				bar: barnode {
					bar-property;
				};
			};
		};
	};

	$ dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o bar.dtb bar.dts

baz.dts
-------

	/dts-v1/;
	/plugin/;
	/ {
		fragment@1 {
			target = <&bar>;
			__overlay__ {
				overlay-2-property;
				baz: baznode {
					baz-property;
				};
			};
		};
	};

	$ dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o baz.dtb baz.dts

Applying the overlays:

	$ fdtoverlay -i base.dtb -o target.dtb bar.dtb baz.dtb

Dumping:

	$ fdtdump target.dtb
	/ {
            foonode {
                overlay-1-property;
                foo-property;
                linux,phandle = <0x00000001>;
                phandle = <0x00000001>;
                barnode {
                    overlay-2-property;
                    phandle = <0x00000002>;
                    linux,phandle = <0x00000002>;
                    bar-property;
                    baznode {
                        phandle = <0x00000003>;
                        linux,phandle = <0x00000003>;
                        baz-property;
                    };
                };
            };
            __symbols__ {
                baz = "/foonode/barnode/baznode";
                bar = "/foonode/barnode";
                foo = "/foonode";
            };
	};
