+Altera Cyclone Passive Serial SPI FPGA Manager
+
+Altera Cyclone FPGAs support a method of loading the bitstream over what is
+referred to as "passive serial".
+The passive serial link is not technically spi, and might require extra
+circuits in order to play nicely with other spi slaves on the same bus.
+
+See https://www.altera.com/literature/hb/cyc/cyc_c51013.pdf
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should contain "altr,cyclone-ps-spi-fpga-mgr"
+- reg : spi slave id of the fpga
+- config-gpios : config pin (referred to as nCONFIG in the cyclone manual)
+- status-gpios : status pin (referred to as nSTATUS in the cyclone manual)
+
+both gpios pins are normally active low open drain.
+
+Example:
+ fpga_spi: evi-fpga-spi@0 {
+ compatible = "altr,cyclone-ps-spi-fpga-mgr";
+ spi-max-frequency = <20000000>;
+ reg = <0>;
+ config-gpios = <&gpio4 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ status-gpios = <&gpio4 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ };
