At least for Socfpga the HPS2FPGA and FPGA2HPS bridges can be configured to have
a bus width of 32, 64, 128 depending on the bitstream. How does this fit into here?
For DMA over this bus this is an interesting property to know, isn't it?
I guess something like "<&hps_fpgabridge0 64>" could be a possible solution, but
what is with the GPV registers of the bridges? Do they depend on the bitstream
loaded? Then this would get really messy I guess as it not a generic property.
