I am considering moving from RCN kernel 3.8.13-bone35.1 to 3.13.0-rc7 to take advantage of some USB updates. It appears that device tree overlays are not yet supported in the latter. My questions are:
1) Are my observations correct?
2) If this is true, then are device tree overlays being dropped in later kernel versions?

"dropped" is really the wrong word to use...
NO ONE has taken up the effort to fully port the 3.8 "overlays" to 3.13...
Personally, i'm working on a workaround that works for me and for most
cape users.
Thanks Robert. I was thinking of a workaround also, but did not want to "reinvent a wheel". Could you point me to your thoughts? It seems to me that the major issue is setting up the pinmux and associated resource allocation.
I'm just guessing, but the guy who originally wrote the 3.8 overlay
system would probably take cash in trade to keep working on it..
