You mean apply for testing purposes? How, technically?

Or is that about actual usage by the kernel? I was sent here from a
U-Boot discussion where we would like to consume all DTS files from the
kernel [1]. In our case, the kernel will not use these overlays, the
firmware does, presenting the result to the kernel during runtime.
