Yeah I'll have to look at remote notifications for FPGA managers
soon-ish for another
project as discussed at ELCE. Part of that would be synchronization I guess :)

Umhh, based on the secure state read from CTRL_SEC_EN bit, or did you
think along the
lines of "xlnx,no-icap" property that your bootloader / dt would provide?

Cheers,
