In theory the on-board FPGA is not part of the SoC.  The Qixis device has been defined previously in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/board/fsl-board.txt file.  Although normally board bindings are defined in architecture specific binding folders, this is a good place for board related stuff used across multiple architectures.  You can update the existing binding if needed.
