Having read the above I'm still not entirely sure what this is supposed to do. It sounds like it might be something to do with programming FPGAs but that doesn't seem like something for the SPI subsystem, it sounds like something for a FPGA handling subsystem. People keep talking about that, there's a bunch of other stuff to integrate with there like loading DTs for the downloeaded bitstream. I'm not sure what the status is there.
