Subject: [PATCH 12/14] 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@...nel.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.
+
+How to add a new FPGA region
+----------------------------
+
+An example of usage can be seen in the probe function of [#f2]_.

-Introduction
-============
-
-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 [1].
-
-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 [1].  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

-
-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 [2] 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

-===================
-The FPGA region API
-===================
-
-To register or unregister a region:
------------------------------------
-
-	int fpga_region_register(struct fpga_region *region);
-	int fpga_region_unregister(struct fpga_region *region);
-
-An example of usage can be seen in the probe function of [3]
-
-To program an FPGA:
--------------------
-	int fpga_region_program_fpga(struct fpga_region *region);
-
-This function 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
-
-=============
-Usage example
-=============
-
-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);
-
-Then enumerate whatever hardware has appeared in the FPGA.
