A Devicetree's overlay purpose is to modify the kernel's live tree, and

Since the kernel mainly deals with devices, any new device node that results
in an active device should have it created while if the device node is either
disabled or removed all together, the affected device should be deregistered.

During early boot, the architecture setup code calls of_scan_flat_dt()

data before paging is setup. The of_scan_flat_dt() code scans through
data before paging is set up. The of_scan_flat_dt() code scans through
