as far as i understand it, it is all in the blob. ?All that is needed is knowing
whether the blob is a full or partial image. ?X seems to just use the image size
to determine this, but that means having a table of all devices and their
respective full image size. ?seems simpler to just specify the image type is
partial or not in the fitimage.

I dont think the property need be fpga vendor specific.?
