commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=dc7c6487cff0a418a6605060670571ea9111050a
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
Add a step to target-finalize that checks each rootfs overlay, following
the criteria established for custom skeletons and using the same script
uesd by skeleton-custom.mk.
Add a paragraph to the documentation clarifying that rootfs overlays
don't need to contain /bin, /lib or /sbin and must not contain them when
BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR is enabled.

etc., files called +.empty+ and files ending in +~+ are excluded from
the copy.
+
+When +BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR+ is enabled, then the overlay must not
+ contain the '/bin', '/lib' or '/sbin' directories, as Buildroot will
+ create them as symbolic links to the relevant folders in '/usr'. In
+ such a situation, should the overlay have any programs or libraries,
+ they should be placed in '/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin' and '/usr/lib'.

As shown in xref:customize-dir-structure[], the recommended path for
this overlay is +board/<company>/<boardname>/rootfs-overlay+.
