Yes, you are right.

1. Allows user to run optional for program core. When "" is set to 
altr,bitstream-core, then SPL would skip programming FPGA with core, so
user can program it later on U-Boot or Linux.
2. Allows core in different FIT file.

You need to set the default source in DTS, for example "firmware-loader 
= &fs_loader0", that's for power boot up purpose. After that, generic
firmware loader would go to the dsignated storage as described below to
find the FPGA FIT image according description from above.

	fs_loader0: fs-loader at 0 {
		u-boot,dm-pre-reloc;
		compatible = "u-boot,fs-loader";
		phandlepart = <&mmc 1>;
	};
