I had issues installing pylibfdt but that's fixed now, will do.

This is heavily based on "xlnx,fpga-slave-serial.yaml" which uses an underscore.
I can use a dash instead but that would make things inconsistent across the two schemas.

No, the "-b" is there to denote that the signal is active low. I think its shorthand
for "bar" which is the overline (‾) that electronic engineer put on top of the name of the
signal on schematics. It comes from the datasheet.

No "csi-a", this is the CSI signal which is active low.

Ok, I'll put this to false but I'm not quite sure I understand the implications.

My reasoning behind assigning this to true was that the FPGA is an external
device on a bus that needs to be configured by a bus controller. The bus controller
would be the parent of the fpga DT node and the later would contain properties
parsed by the bus controller driver.

Ok, will use "fpga-mgr" as this seems to be the most common one for fpga managers.
