The RP1 driver uses the infrastructure enabled by OF_OVERLAY config
option. Enable that option in defconfig in order to produce a kernel
usable on RaspberryPi5 avoiding to enable it separately.

The following metrics should help to decide whether this patch is
acceptable or not. The defconfig kernel with CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY=y
added (wrt to the defconfig one without that set) has:

- same uncompressed kernel image size (due to ELF section alignment I guess)

- ~7Kb bigger Image.gz

- 3 new modules (all related to RP1, i.e.: clk-rp1, pinctrl-rp1 and rp1-pci)

- 27 added symbols, of which 5 exported
 
hoping this is enough to gather a rough idea of the impact.
Please note that OF_OVERLAY has to be defined in a way or another,
otherwise the RP1 driver won't work correctly in case the dtb overlay
embedded into the driver is used.
Another way would be to add a phony target to the arm64 makefile which
just add that config option to the target.
