It's been a while since I've touched that bridge, but here's what I
can think of, hope it helps.

This overlay will add the bridge after programming.  It looks like it
should enable it since you have bridge-enable = <1>, so I'm not sure
why that's not working.

Would it make sense to add the f2s bridge before doing the fpga
programming?  You could add the f2s bridge in the base device tree and
add it to your fpga-bridges list so that that bridge is enabled after
the fpga is programmed.
