+FPGA Manager
+============
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The FPGA manager core exports a set of functions for programming an FPGA with
+an image.  The API is manufacturer agnostic.  All manufacturer specifics are
+hidden away in a low level driver which registers a set of ops with the core.
+The FPGA image data itself is very manufacturer specific, but for our purposes
+it's just binary data.  The FPGA manager core won't parse it.
+
+The FPGA image to be programmed can be in a scatter gather list, a single
+contiguous buffer, or a firmware file.  Because allocating contiguous kernel
+memory for the buffer should be avoided, users are encouraged to use a scatter
+gather list instead if possible.
+
+The particulars for programming the image are presented in a structure (struct
+fpga_image_info).  This struct contains parameters such as pointers to the
+FPGA image as well as image-specific particulars such as whether the image was
+built for full or partial reconfiguration.
+
+How to support a new FPGA device
+--------------------------------
+
+To add another FPGA manager, write a driver that implements a set of ops.  The
+probe function calls fpga_mgr_register() or fpga_mgr_register_full(), such as::
+
+	static const struct fpga_manager_ops socfpga_fpga_ops = {
+		.write_init = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_init,
+		.write = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_write,
+		.write_complete = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_complete,
+		.state = socfpga_fpga_ops_state,
+	};
+
+	static int socfpga_fpga_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+	{
+		struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
+		struct socfpga_fpga_priv *priv;
+		struct fpga_manager *mgr;
+		int ret;
+
+		priv = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*priv), GFP_KERNEL);
+		if (!priv)
+			return -ENOMEM;
+
+		/*
+		 * do ioremaps, get interrupts, etc. and save
+		 * them in priv
+		 */
+
+		mgr = fpga_mgr_register(dev, "Altera SOCFPGA FPGA Manager",
+					&socfpga_fpga_ops, priv);
+		if (IS_ERR(mgr))
+			return PTR_ERR(mgr);
+
+		platform_set_drvdata(pdev, mgr);
+
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+	static int socfpga_fpga_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
+	{
+		struct fpga_manager *mgr = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
+
+		fpga_mgr_unregister(mgr);
+
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+Alternatively, the probe function could call one of the resource managed
+register functions, devm_fpga_mgr_register() or devm_fpga_mgr_register_full().
+When these functions are used, the parameter syntax is the same, but the call
+to fpga_mgr_unregister() should be removed. In the above example, the
+socfpga_fpga_remove() function would not be required.
+
+The ops will implement whatever device specific register writes are needed to
+do the programming sequence for this particular FPGA.  These ops return 0 for
+success or negative error codes otherwise.
+
+The programming sequence is::
+ 1. .parse_header (optional, may be called once or multiple times)
+ 2. .write_init
+ 3. .write or .write_sg (may be called once or multiple times)
+ 4. .write_complete
+
+The .parse_header function will set header_size and data_size to
+struct fpga_image_info. Before parse_header call, header_size is initialized
+with initial_header_size. If flag skip_header of fpga_manager_ops is true,
+.write function will get image buffer starting at header_size offset from the
+beginning. If data_size is set, .write function will get data_size bytes of
+the image buffer, otherwise .write will get data up to the end of image buffer.
+This will not affect .write_sg, .write_sg will still get whole image in
+sg_table form. If FPGA image is already mapped as a single contiguous buffer,
+whole buffer will be passed into .parse_header. If image is in scatter-gather
+form, core code will buffer up at least .initial_header_size before the first
+call of .parse_header, if it is not enough, .parse_header should set desired
+size into info->header_size and return -EAGAIN, then it will be called again
+with greater part of image buffer on the input.
+
+The .write_init function will prepare the FPGA to receive the image data. The
+buffer passed into .write_init will be at least info->header_size bytes long;
+if the whole bitstream is not immediately available then the core code will
+buffer up at least this much before starting.
+
+The .write function writes a buffer to the FPGA. The buffer may be contain the
+whole FPGA image or may be a smaller chunk of an FPGA image.  In the latter
+case, this function is called multiple times for successive chunks. This interface
+is suitable for drivers which use PIO.
+
+The .write_sg version behaves the same as .write except the input is a sg_table
+scatter list. This interface is suitable for drivers which use DMA.
+
+The .write_complete function is called after all the image has been written
+to put the FPGA into operating mode.
+
+The ops include a .state function which will determine the state the FPGA is in
+and return a code of type enum fpga_mgr_states.  It doesn't result in a change
+in state.
