Apologies for the epic delay in getting back to this, I took another
look at this patchset and Russ' patchset.

TL;DR I'm not really a fan of using device-tree overlays for this (and
again, apologies, I should've voiced this earlier ...).

Anyways, let's find a common API for this and Russ' work, they're trying
to achieve the same / similar thing, they should use the same API.

I'd like to re-invetigate the possiblity to extend FPGA Manager with
'secure update' ops that work for both these use-cases (and I susspect
hte XRT patchset will follow with a similar requirement, right after).
