SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] fpga: Introduce new fpga subsystem
Hi!

On the other hand... that's the interface world wants, right? To most
users, fpga bitstream is just a firmware.

4), userspace:
- hotplug: cat appropriate_firmware_image > \
/sys/class/firmware/xxx/data

I assume udev's firmware.sh could be modified to add headers.

But... if same bitstream is expected to work across multiple FPGAs (is
it?) maybe kernel should hide that difference and provide headers
itself.

Thanks,
Pavel
