This patch adds user encrypted key load API to support User key
encrypted images loading use cases from Linux.
What is "user key encrypted images"?  Do we need more documentation
here for what this is and how to use it?
Xilinx bitstream writer, using AES, encrypts the bitstream. This feature allows user to encrypt bitstream using 256-bit AES encryption in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode.
User can supply a 128-bit Initial Vector and 256-bit key(user key).
Please provide the needed information in the changelog comment.
For more info please refer here:
