The overlay looks the same as in Linux and documented in
fpga-region.yaml.
For example, if your device tree contains a node with a fpga-region for
the fpga named fpga_full and the fpga-mgr property has a phandle to the
node of the FPGA Manager, the following overlay should instruct the FPGA
Manager to load the bitstream.bit firmware into the FPGA.
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
&fpga_full {
firmware-name = "bitstream.bin";
};
In the overlay you should also describe the gateware implemented in the
bitstream. This allows Linux to detect what's actually implemented in
the bitstream and probe the proper drivers.
