The ':=' override path in xbc_parse_kv() calls xbc_init_node() to re-initialize an existing value node but does not check the return value. If xbc_init_node() fails (data offset out of range), parsing silently continues with stale node data. Add the missing error check to match the xbc_add_node() call path which already checks for failure. In practice, a bootconfig using ':=' to override a value near the 32KB data limit could silently retain the old value, meaning a security-relevant boot parameter override (e.g., a trace filter or debug setting) would not take effect as intended.
