 Description:    write only
-                Writing 1 will issue a PERST to card which may cause the card

+                Writing 1 will issue a PERST to card provided there are no
+                contexts active on any one of the card AFUs. This may cause
+                the card to reload the FPGA depending on load_image_on_perst.
+                Writing -1 will do a force PERST irrespective of any active
+                contexts on the card AFUs.
