Is there a reason that this has not yet been converted to yaml?

I might be misreading things, but your driver code seems to assume that
this is an aes key. Nothing here seems to document that this is supposed
to be a key of a particular type.

Hi Conor,

	Thanks for providing the review comments.

I am not sure about the complication involved here why it's not converted to yaml format.
Due to time constraints, I couldn’t spend much time so I have used this existing legacy format
to add my changes.

Yes, these changes are intended to add the support for Aes user-key encrypted bitstream loading use case.
Will fix it in v2, something like below.
aes-key-file-name : Should contain the AES key file name on the firmware search path.
		      The key file contains the AES key and it will be used to decrypt the FPGA image.

Then when someone comes along looking for a different type of encryption
we will end up with national-pride-foo-file-name etc. I think I'd rather
have a second property that notes what type of cipher is being used and
if that property is not present default to AES.

I wonder why does it need to be in DT in the first place? Why it cannot
be appended to the FPGA binary image itself? Which also points to
dubious security aspect of this approach... Shipping FPGA encrypted
image with its decryption key sounds like marvelous idea.

Even if this is suitable, why not using more arguments of firmware-name?
This would scale even for multiple FPGA firmwares with different keys
(although such need seems unlikely).

Best regards,
Krzysztof

In case it is not clear (given the month's delay here), this question is
for the submitter of the series to answer, not me.
