    That's not what your property is saying, though - if it were just about
    handover between the bootloader and the kernel that'd be one thing but
    it's also got this additional possibility to instruct the kernel that
    the device must be either disabled or explicitly programmed. Having a
    property that just says "this FPGA is programmed" covers the handover
    case but this property does more than that.
