This is probably a sub-optimal approach.

Indeed.

You should reconsider your plans.  Why  don't  you  simply  load  and
initialize  the  FPGA  in  U-Boot?  U-Boot can load files from a file
system, so you don't actually lose much of flexibility. And you don;t
have to play dirty tricks on Linux as Linux will see an  initialized,
working device.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
