I've just updated to the latest next branch and am finding problems
applying overlays.   Reverting this commit alleviates things.  The
errors I get are:

[   88.498704] OF: overlay: Failed to apply prop @/__symbols__/clk_0
[   88.513447] OF: overlay: apply failed '/__symbols__'
[   88.518423] create_overlay: Failed to create overlay (err=-12)

My branch also includes Pantelis' patch that turns on symbols [1].
