                 Writing 1 will issue a PERST to card which may cause the card
                 to reload the FPGA depending on load_image_on_perst.

+Description:	read/write
+		Trust that when an image is reloaded via PERST, it will not
+		have changed.
+		0 = don't trust, the image may be different (default)
+		1 = trust that the image will not change.
