New hardware can instantiate a new private feature in the DFL, and +then get a DFL device in their system. In some cases users may need a userspace +driver for the DFL device: + +* Users may need to run some diagnostic test for their hardwares. +* Users may prototype the kernel driver in user space. +* Some hardware is designed for specific purposes and does not fit into one of + the standard kernel subsystems. + +This requires the direct access to the MMIO space and interrupt handling in +userspace. The dfl-uio-pdev module exposes the UIO device interfaces for this +purpose. It adds the uio_pdrv_genirq platform device with the resources of +the DFL feature, and lets the generic UIO platform device driver provide UIO +support to userspace. + +FPGA_DFL_UIO_PDEV should be selected to enable this feature. + +The DFL UIO driver has a special matching algorithem. It will match any DFL +device which could not be handled by other DFL drivers. In this way, it will +not impact the functionality of the features which are already supported by the +system. + + Open discussion =============== FME driver exports one ioctl (DFL_FPGA_FME_PORT_PR) for partial reconfiguration
