From: Pantelis Antoniou <pantelis.antoniou@konsulko.com>

Changesets are very powerful, but the lack of a helper API
makes using them cumbersome. Introduce a simple copy based
API that makes things considerably easier.

To wit, adding a property using the raw API.

	struct property *prop;
	prop = kzalloc(sizeof(*prop)), GFP_KERNEL);
	prop->name = kstrdup("compatible");
	prop->value = kstrdup("foo,bar");
	prop->length = strlen(prop->value) + 1;
	of_changeset_add_property(ocs, np, prop);

while using the helper API

	of_changeset_add_property_string(ocs, np, "compatible",
			"foo,bar");

You must use an intermediate, to avoid complaints from sparse:

    __be32 x = cpu_to_be32(val);

Are you planning to try to upstream all this? If not, I'll get Frank
to keep changing the overlay API to make carrying it out of tree more
painful. :)

Not really. But I do need a way to load DT overlays at runtime, for testing
hardware on expansion connectors.

He already did a very good job w.r.t. that in v4.15-rc1 ;^)
