+In-kernel API for FPGA Programming
+==================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The in-kernel API for FPGA programming is a combination of APIs from
+FPGA manager, bridge, and regions.  The actual function used to
+trigger FPGA programming is fpga_region_program_fpga().
+
+fpga_region_program_fpga() uses functionality supplied by
+the FPGA manager and bridges.  It will:
+
+ * lock the region's mutex
+ * lock the mutex of the region's FPGA manager
+ * build a list of FPGA bridges if a method has been specified to do so
+ * disable the bridges
+ * program the FPGA using info passed in :c:expr:`fpga_region->info`.
+ * re-enable the bridges
+ * release the locks
+
+The struct fpga_image_info specifies what FPGA image to program.  It is
+allocated/freed by fpga_image_info_alloc() and freed with
+fpga_image_info_free()
+
+How to program an FPGA using a region
+-------------------------------------
+
+When the FPGA region driver probed, it was given a pointer to an FPGA manager
+driver so it knows which manager to use.  The region also either has a list of
+bridges to control during programming or it has a pointer to a function that
+will generate that list.  Here's some sample code of what to do next::
+
+	#include <linux/fpga/fpga-mgr.h>
+	#include <linux/fpga/fpga-region.h>
+
+	struct fpga_image_info *info;
+	int ret;
+
+	/*
+	 * First, alloc the struct with information about the FPGA image to
+	 * program.
+	 */
+	info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
+	if (!info)
+		return -ENOMEM;
+
+	/* Set flags as needed, such as: */
+	info->flags = FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
+
+	/*
+	 * Indicate where the FPGA image is. This is pseudo-code; you're
+	 * going to use one of these three.
+	 */
+	if (image is in a scatter gather table) {
+
+		info->sgt = [your scatter gather table]
+
+	} else if (image is in a buffer) {
+
+		info->buf = [your image buffer]
+		info->count = [image buffer size]
+
+	} else if (image is in a firmware file) {
+
+		info->firmware_name = devm_kstrdup(dev, firmware_name,
+						   GFP_KERNEL);
+
+	}
+
+	/* Add info to region and do the programming */
+	region->info = info;
+	ret = fpga_region_program_fpga(region);
+
+	/* Deallocate the image info if you're done with it */
+	region->info = NULL;
+	fpga_image_info_free(info);
+
+	if (ret)
+		return ret;
+
+	/* Now enumerate whatever hardware has appeared in the FPGA. */

+
+* fpga_region_program_fpga() —  Program an FPGA
+* fpga_image_info() —  Specifies what FPGA image to program
+* fpga_image_info_alloc() —  Allocate an FPGA image info struct
+* fpga_image_info_free() —  Free an FPGA image info struct
