Should this be down with the v2: ?

Can you explain how this commit by itself doesn't break things?

Before this change firmware expected BIT(0) to be set for partial
reconfiguration, now BIT(0) suddenly means authentication? How doest his
work? :)

Was there a firmware version change? Did this never work before?

If this is version depenedent for firmware, then this might need a
different compatible string / id / some form of probing?

Entirely possible that I'm missing something, but it doesn't *seem*
right.
