Devicetree overlay notifiers have a chance to potentially get pointers into the overlay unflattened devicetree and overlay FDT. The only protection against these pointers being accessed after the underlying data has been released by kfree() is by source code review of patches. Add a keyword line to the devicetree overlay maintainers entry to try to catch overlay notifier related patches. The keyword line is added to the devicetree overlay entry instead of the devicetree entry so that not all maintainers will receive the additional review traffic. Add Frank Rowand (already a maintainer in the devicetree entry) so that he will receive the additional review traffic.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
