That was a suggestion of how to make a commercial device piracy resistant. Rather than try to forcibly stop the pirate (which is relatively easy to eventually break), it just makes it easy for the pirate to ship a flawed copy, which costs them a lot later on.

In practice, it's rare to find open source hardware that doesn't have at least some open source software to go with it.
