In a device tree overlay, symbols and labels that are not defined in the device tree overlay can not be used, since they are defined in the original device tree. To manage these cases the device tree overlay defines extra nodes to define symbols and labels that are not defined. | In a device tree overlay, symbols and labels that are not defined in the device tree overlay can not be used, since they are defined in the original device tree.
