How about:

fpga: altera-cvp: Fix registration for CvP incapable devices

The probe function needs to verify the CvP enable bit in order to
properly determine if FPGA Manager functionality can be safely
enabled.

Could you add a Fixes <hash> ("Message") tag here, I believe we had this
issue since the very beginning, i.e

Fixes 34d1dc17ce97 ("fpga manager: Add Altera CvP driver")

Something like ^^^^
