Yes, that is what I thought. And still, devices can NOT show up
at the fpgamgr. They show up on the various bridges.

And as far as I understand the DT overlay stuff, you specify in
the overlay what the parent node will be.
For i2c this is one of the i2c-hosts, for spi one of the spi-hosts
and for IP cores in a bitstream one of the bridges.

The fpgamgr is, from my understanding, only responsible for writing
the bitstream to the FPGA; nothing more.

Steffen
