From the other commits it looks like it *also* writes to QSPI? If so
please document that.

If not, feel free to ignore :)

Maybe I would highlight two things:
a) If you add 'authenticate-fpga-config' you are not allowed to add new
   nodes
b) If you add 'authenticate-fpga-config' you are not alllowed to add
   other operations
