documentation: fpga: move fpga-mgr.txt to driver-api
Move Documentation/fpga/fpga-mgr.txt to driver-api/fpga/fpga-mgr.rst
and:
- Add to driver-api/fpga/index.rst
- Format changes so documentation builds cleanly.
- Minor rewrites that make the doc flow better as ReST documentation.
- Such as moving API reference to end of doc
- Change API reference section to refer to kernel-doc documentation in
fpga-mgr.c driver code rather than statically defining each function.

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.
