Commit Message

Russ Weight June 24, 2021, 8:53 p.m. UTC 
The FPGA bridge class driver data structure is being treated as a
managed resource instead of using the standard dev_release call-back
function to release the class data structure. This change removes
the managed resource code and combines the create() and register()
functions into a single register() or register_simple() function.

The register() function accepts an info data structure to provide
flexibility in passing optional parameters. The register_simple()
function supports the current parameter list for users that don't
require the use of optional parameters.

v8:
  - Added reviewed-by tag.
  - Updated Documentation/driver-api/fpga/fpga-bridge.rst documentation.
v7:
  - Update the commit message to describe the new parameters for the
    fpga_bridge_register() function and to mention the
    fpga_bridge_register_simple() function.
  - Fix function prototypes in header file to rename dev to parent.
  - Some cleanup of comments.
  - Update function defintions/prototypes to apply const to the new info
    parameter.
  - Verify that info->br_ops is non-null in register functions.
v6:
  - Changed fpga_bridge_register() parameters to accept an info data
    structure to provide flexibility in passing optional parameters.
  - Added fpga_bridge_register_simple() function to support current
    parameters for users that don't require the use of optional
    parameters.
v5:
  - Rebased on top of recently accepted patches.
v4:
  - Restore the previous format for the Return value in the comment header
    for fpga_bridge_register()
v3:

Identical descriptions may confuse developers, may provide a little
details to distinguish each other.

The same for fpga-mgr.rst & fpga-region.rst
