odroid-5.12.y: overlay breaks build

[DylanVanAssche]

I tried to build the odroid-5.12.y branch on a musl Alpine based system (postmarketOS).
I couldn't get it working at first until I noticed that Armbian doesn't include the overlay patches:
armbian/build#2847

I reverted them and now it builds and runs fine.

Is there something missing here?

Do you meet the error when you build my repo and my branch?
What commits are reverted?

[DylanVanAssche]

Yes, I built your repo with branch odroid-5.12.y and the build fails at the end when installing all things with:

I created 2 revert patches for the overlays patches (d5025e18d05e104770568225ec85beaf91c282f5 and fdb8fbfde3452687ff1982a9f72fd6c74181e6c1):

Armbian did the same by excluding both commits: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/56a76727724b70c9d873f03a167093ec7890da40/patch/kernel/archive/odroidxu4-5.12/broken

Off-topic: I assume all of these patches are being upstreamed to the mainline kernel?
