The evaluation platform is based on ZCU104. The difference is not
only the FPGA image. Also a FMC extension card with Ethernet PHYs is
needed. So also the physical hardware is different.

Okay, that's enough of a reason for another compatible. You'll have to
update the schema.

Ok, I will update Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/xilinx.yaml.

In past we said that we won't be accepting any FPGA description in
u-boot/linux projects. I don't think anything has changed from that time
and I don't want to end up in situation that we will have a lot of
configurations which none else can try and use.

I agree that it does not make sense to add configurations that no one else
can try and use. The goal is that others can easily try out the IP. I want to
provide the FPGA image to others who are interested. It won't be many of
course.

Also based on your description where you use evaluation board with FMC
card it is far from any product and looks like demonstration configuration.

You are right, it is not product, which is addressed to end users. It is a
demonstration configuration for developers. Isn't that valid for all evaluation
boards? As a developer I'm very happy if I can do evaluation and development
without any vendor tree. I can do that now with the ZCU104. So a big thank
you from me for your work!

You can add the same fragment to dt binding example which should be
enough for everybody to understand how your IP should be described.

This dt binding example is already there.

So a device tree like this won't be accepted?
