Hi Moritz,

When we talked about this, I was thinking about the arria10
support which I'd done more recently.  c5 and a10 are
quite different here.

The c5 datasheet:
  https://www.altera.com/literature/hb/cyclone-v/cv_5v4.pdf

Look for the 'stat' register on page 4-12 onwards.  This
register exposes the setting of the msel pins (are a dipswitch
on some boards).  The msel pins determine the programming
mode and whether it is expecting an encrypted and/or
compressed bitstream.  So you could read this reg and
set the capabilities accordingly.

For arria10, encryption is enabled and if the bitstream
says it's encrypted, the driver handles it.
