The FPGA reprogramming is about loading the FPGA logic blocks, and from
the POV of the System, it is about runtime changing the HW and
re-enumerate the devices.

But some submitted fpga-mgr drivers are just used to to write nvram
backend for FPGA, don't affect any running device at all. I think these
drivers virtually have nothing to do with fpga-mgr. Some generic
storage (e.g. nvram, mtd) or firmware image loading interfaces better
fit them. I assume this driver is also of this kind.

I think anyway you need to communicate with spi controller driver and
have one voice how/who to take control of cs, rather than blindly
operate at both sides.
