I could see how that could happen in a design, yes.

Yeah I think this is the direction to go for what he's trying to achieve.

Yeah, the device driver should not have to worry about whether it's in partial
reconfiguration or full reconfiguration. What I do feel strongly about
is the region reset shouldn't remove the reset handling from the drivers
if they do need it.

One thing to watch out for is to make sure to not re-introduce an DT
dependency into the fpga-region code.
