* Change the fpga-mgr API to have one fpga_mgr_load function
instead of three.
* Expose API functions for FPGA region
* Separate common FPGA region code from Device Tree support
* Add API functions for bridges where DT is not used.
This is needed because the current FPGA layer has a couple of problems:
* We now have 3 functions for programming a FPGA, depending on whether
the image is in a sg list, a buffer, or firmware. So upper layers
have to be written assuming where the image will be or will have to
write extra code to maintain flexibility.
* users who aren't using device tree are left to write their
own code that is essentially a rewrite of FPGA region.
Currently on the linux-fpga git repo as branch
next-20170615-fpga-region-api-v3
Patch 1 updates documentation and adds a FPGA region API doc.
Patch 2 adds non-dt support for fpga-bridges
Patch 3 changes the FPGA manager API, replacing the 3 FPGA load
functions with a single function that can handle whether the image
is a sg list, a contiguous buffer, or a firmware file.
Patch 4 separates getting a ref to a manager from locking it so
code can hang onto a ref without preventing other users from
using the manager to program a FPGA.
Patches 5 to 16 separate FPGA region common code from DT overlay
support and adds API functions. Functional code changes are separated
into a bunch of little patches. The last patch actually moves code to
of-fpga-region.c with only minor init/probe changes as this becomes
two modules.
I've tested this functionally for all patches separately.
Code changes from v3 are pretty small.
Changes in v3:
* rewrite fpga-region.txt
* fix bisect, test on each patch
* change fpga_region_program_fpga take only the region as a parameter
* update docs for fpga_region_program_fpga change
Changes in v2:
* split the final (large) patch into smaller patches for easier reviewability.
* documentation has been expanded
* reorder things, clean up
* dev_err instead of pr_err
* move functions that alloc/free image info from fpga-region.c to fpga-mgr.c
* move fpga-region.h to include/linux/fpga/
* add fpga_region_class_find to fpga-region.c
* move of_fpga_region_find to of-fpga-region.c
