We did that for zynq when we did that for the first time. But not for
zynqmp. Zynq is maybe still using it but it shouldn't now. It is not
100% reliable way. Definitely having DT property is the best option
because you can add sort of "nop" which extend bitstream size and does
nothing which breaks that checking.

For full u-boot there is loadb, loadbp, load and loadp to distinguish it.
