3.14 doesn't support overlays, but the major capes will be supported
by custom *.dtb's..

For the lcd7-01-00a3 you'd override the default dtb with:

dtb=<device>-lcd7-01-00a3.dtb

in uEnv.txt

Next, if you want to customize the *.dtb "without rebuilding" the kernel:

You can see, how i've been trying to "help" users:
