The ICAP device in Xilinx FPGAs differs slightly between different
FPGAs.  The driver needs an additional attribute in the device tree to
distinguish this.

+		Xilinx hwicap devices provide access to the configuration logic
+		of the FPGA through the Internal Configuration Access Port
+		(ICAP).  The ICAP enables partial reconfiguration of the FPGA,
+		readback of the configuration information, and some control over
+		'warm boots' of the FPGA fabric.

+                      differ between different families.  May be

    More devices will be defined as this spec matures.
