Subject: [PATCH v5 16/18] fpga: of-fpga-region: accept overlays that don't program FPGA

The FPGA may already have a static image programmed when
Linux boots.  In that case a DT overlay may be used to add
the devices that already exist.  This commit allows that
by shuffling the order of some checks.
