This is wrong interface, right? The only use of this string is to pass
it to udev. We should simply pass "fpga-0" as a firware name, and let
udev figure it out, no need to to prepare name in separate component,
then pass it to kernel, which passes it back to udev.

Does 0 need to be written there to pull the fpga out of reset? Is this
a suitable interface?
