[ Impact ]

overlays/README is used by the 'dtoverlay' command to display info on available overlays and params.

[ Test Case ]

$ apt install libraspberrypi-bin
$ dtoverlay -h uart0
* Help file not found

With the README present:
$ dtoverlay -h uart0
Name:   uart0

Info:   Change the pin usage of uart0

Usage:  dtoverlay=uart0,<param>=<val>

Params: txd0_pin                GPIO pin for TXD0 (14, 32 or 36 - default 14)

        rxd0_pin                GPIO pin for RXD0 (15, 33 or 37 - default 15)

        pin_func                Alternative pin function - 4(Alt0) for 14&15,
                                7(Alt3) for 32&33, 6(Alt2) for 36&37

[ Where Problems Could Occur ]

The output of the `dtoverlay` could be wrong but it's only informational so should have no negative impact.
