The list is mostly in alphabetical order so the new 'authenticate-... ' should go at the top.

Improve what you mean by 'authentication' similar to my comment in the first patch.

The original list is not in alphabetical order. The order of 
partial-fpga-config, external-fpga-config and encrypted-fpga-config here 
follows the implementation in the of-fpga-region.c file.

So authenticate-fpga-config should follow the way, correct?

Will do in the version 2 submission.

This is why i say 'mostly' ..

In general when listing options for a user to read, you should make it easy for them to find

the option they are looking for.  Ordering them alphabetically is an obvious but not the only

way.  I am not asking for you to fix the whole table, just what you are adding. If there is

a better way to organize them please propose the method.

It is unclear to me from the description whether this entails
authentication + reconfiguration or just authentication.

If the latter is the case this should probably be described as such.

If it is just authentication, do we still need to disable bridges in
fpga_region_program_fpga?

I'm wondering if the FPGA functionalities could still be working when
the authenticating is ongoing, or when the authenticating is failed.

How about put authenticate-fpga-config above partial-fpga-config? I 
would like to group all xxx-fpga-config flags together.

It is for authentication only, just make the signed bitstream has the 
valid signatures.

Yes.

Except for the actual configuration of the device, the authentication 
feature is the same as FPGA configuration.

FPGA Bridges gate bus signals between a host and FPGA. So the FPGA
region could not be accessed by host when doing configuration. But for
this authentication, we are just writing the flash, we don't actually
touch the FPGA soft logic. The host should still be able to operate on
the old logic before reboot, is it?

Yes, it's feasible in theory but doesn't make much sense in practice. I 
prefer to keep fpga_region_program_fpga() unchanged.

I'm thinking of the case of inband reprograming, that the QSPI flash
controller itself is embedded in FPGA soft logic, then maybe host still
need to access FPGA on authentication.
