It's interesting if you want to change bridge width.
Most of the time I think people are not going to want or even be able to change
the width of their bridges dynamically.

Yes that does seem possible and easy to implement on the level of the simple
fpga bus and fpga bridge framework. Each low level FPGA Bridge driver would
have #bridge-cells = <1> to support having a parameter. Specifying
#bridge-cells = <0> would bring back to the current behaviour of no parameter.
A parameter could be added to struct fpga_bridge so that when the simple fpga
bus enables the bridge, it could pass the parameter back to the fpga bridge
driver. All without changing any parameters of the functions. Thanks for the
suggestion!

Not all low level drivers will be able to support this. Those that can't support
this won't have to. But it is a possibility without adding much code to the bridge
framework.
