+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(), 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_create(dev, "Altera SOCFPGA FPGA Manager",
+ &socfpga_fpga_ops, priv);
+ if (!mgr)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ platform_set_drvdata(pdev, mgr);
+
+ ret = fpga_mgr_register(mgr);
+ if (ret)
+ fpga_mgr_free(mgr);
+
+ return ret;
+ }
+
+ static int socfpga_fpga_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
+ {
+ struct fpga_manager *mgr = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
+
+ fpga_mgr_unregister(mgr);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+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. .write_init
+ 2. .write or .write_sg (may be called once or multiple times)
+ 3. .write_complete
+
+The .write_init function will prepare the FPGA to receive the image data. The
+buffer passed into .write_init will be atmost .initial_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 read the hardware FPGA manager and
+return a code of type enum fpga_mgr_states. It doesn't result in a change in
+hardware state.
+
+How to write an image buffer to a supported FPGA
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Some sample code::
+
+ #include <linux/fpga/fpga-mgr.h>
+
+ struct fpga_manager *mgr;
+ struct fpga_image_info *info;
+ int ret;
+
+ /*
+ * Get a reference to FPGA manager. The manager is not locked, so you can
+ * hold onto this reference without it preventing programming.
+ *
+ * This example uses the device node of the manager. Alternatively, use
+ * fpga_mgr_get(dev) instead if you have the device.
+ */
+ mgr = of_fpga_mgr_get(mgr_node);
+
+ /* struct with information about the FPGA image to program. */
+ info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
+
+ /* flags indicates whether to do full or partial reconfiguration */
+ info->flags = FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
+
+ /*
+ * At this point, indicate where the 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);
+
+ }
+
+ /* Get exclusive control of FPGA manager */
+ ret = fpga_mgr_lock(mgr);
+
+ /* Load the buffer to the FPGA */
+ ret = fpga_mgr_buf_load(mgr, &info, buf, count);
+
+ /* Release the FPGA manager */
+ fpga_mgr_unlock(mgr);
+ fpga_mgr_put(mgr);
+
+ /* Deallocate the image info if you're done with it */
+ fpga_image_info_free(info);
