I had an offline discussion with Josh Cartwright about his concerns.
He brought up a good
point on w.r.t to the way FPGA Area (Bus) deals with things.

Currently we only support complete status = "okay" vs "disabled" kind
of overlays.

If now you have say a UART in the FPGA that you don't want to go away
and come back on reload,
we don't have a good way of expressing this. Is there a good way to
express non-mmio FPGA devices?

I've been toying around with hacking up struct device to include a
FPGA 'domain', and then, similar
to power domains allow devices to register suspend() / resume() style
callbacks (could call them pre_reload() or something like that ...)

I haven't gotten around to think it through. At this point it's just
an idea and I don't have real code to show.

I realize the issue with that is we'd have to make changes to struct device.

Cheers,

Moritz
