Sorry for late reply.

write_sg is for hardwares capable of handling sg buffers in batches. It
does not make sense we must implement write_sg() if the image header is
not fixed. They are not related.

The real problem is we lack the support for variable image header. So
maybe add the support in fpga manager core.

Thanks,
