The short description is burying the lede a bit, the key point is that
you're making this function public.

The concept looks fine to me. A few details to polish noted below:

"overlay_get_target" was fine as an internal name. When published, I
think "fdt_overlay_target_offset" would better fit the naming
conventions for the rest of the interface.
Similarly, I'd like the @fragment parameter renamed @fragment_offset.
[The insistent use of explicit "offset" throughout the interface is
deliberate - it's an attempt to constantly remind users that these
quantities are explicit offsets in the blob, which can be invalidated
by other changes, rather than some sort of safe, stable handle on a
node]
