Sure.

Description: FPGA region id for compatibility check, e.g compatibility
             of the FPGA reconfiguration hardware and image. This value
             is defined or calculated by the layer that is creating the
             FPGA region. This interface returns the compat_id value or
             just error code -ENOENT in case compat_id is not used.
