documentation: fpga: move fpga-region.txt to driver-api
Move Documentation/fpga/fpga-region.txt to driver-api/fpga/fpga-region.rst. Including: - Add it to driver-api/fpga/index.rst - Formatting changes to build cleanly as ReST documentation - Some rewrites for better flow as a ReST doc such as moving API reference to the end of the doc - Rewrite API reference section to refer to kernel-doc documentation in fpga-region.c driver code Signed-off-by: Alan Tull <atull@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

FPGA Region | ||
=========== | ||
|
||
Overview | ||
-------- | ||
|
||
This document is meant to be an brief overview of the FPGA region API usage. A | ||
more conceptual look at regions can be found in the Device Tree binding | ||
document [#f1]_. | ||
|
||
For the purposes of this API document, let's just say that a region associates | ||
an FPGA Manager and a bridge (or bridges) with a reprogrammable region of an | ||
FPGA or the whole FPGA. The API provides a way to register a region and to | ||
program a region. | ||
|
||
Currently the only layer above fpga-region.c in the kernel is the Device Tree | ||
support (of-fpga-region.c) described in [#f1]_. The DT support layer uses regions | ||
to program the FPGA and then DT to handle enumeration. The common region code | ||
is intended to be used by other schemes that have other ways of accomplishing | ||
enumeration after programming. | ||
|
||
An fpga-region can be set up to know the following things: | ||
|
||
* which FPGA manager to use to do the programming | ||
|
||
* which bridges to disable before programming and enable afterwards. | ||
|
||
Additional info needed to program the FPGA image is passed in the struct | ||
fpga_image_info including: | ||
|
||
* pointers to the image as either a scatter-gather buffer, a contiguous | ||
buffer, or the name of firmware file | ||
|
||
* flags indicating specifics such as whether the image if for partial | ||
reconfiguration. | ||
|
||
How to program a FPGA using a region | ||
------------------------------------ | ||
|
||
First, allocate the info struct:: | ||
|
||
info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev); | ||
if (!info) | ||
return -ENOMEM; | ||
|
||
Set flags as needed, i.e.:: | ||
|
||
info->flags |= FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG; | ||
|
||
Point to your FPGA image, such as:: | ||
|
||
info->sgt = &sgt; | ||
|
||
Add info to region and do the programming:: | ||
|
||
region->info = info; | ||
ret = fpga_region_program_fpga(region); | ||
|
||
:c:func:`fpga_region_program_fpga()` operates on info passed in the | ||
fpga_image_info (region->info). This function will attempt to: | ||
|
||
* lock the region's mutex | ||
* lock 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 | ||
* re-enable the bridges | ||
* release the locks | ||
|
||
Then you will want to enumerate whatever hardware has appeared in the FPGA. | ||
|
