Will fix user key format issues in v3.

Will update this binding doc with user key  encrypted bitstream loading use case info.

Use case info:
Reconfiguration with encrypted image using AES key
   In this case, the FPGA Manager will decrypt the configuration data and
   placed it into the programmable logic. To decrypt the configuration data
   it uses AES key provided by the user.

DT Overlay contains:
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

&fpga_region0 {
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <1>;

        firmware-name = "versal-gpio.bin";
        encrypted-key-name = “Aes-key.nky”

        gpio1: gpio at 40000000 {
                compatible = "xlnx,xps-gpio-1.00.a";
                reg = <0x40000000 0x10000>;
                gpio-controller;
                #gpio-cells = <0x2>;
                xlnx,gpio-width= <0x6>;
        };
};

Navakishore.
