Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] fpga: dfl: reorganize to subdir layout

From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com>

Follow drivers/net/ethernet/ which has control configs
NET_VENDOR_BLA that map to drivers/net/ethernet/bla
Since fpgas do not have many vendors, drop the 'VENDOR' and use
FPGA_BLA.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for this patch. : )

DFL is not a vendor, but something can be shared/reused. It's possible that
other vendors reuse the same concepts and the drivers of DFL. If vendor
drivers need to be moved inside sub folders, then maybe it's better to
leave DFL in the parent folder?

xrt is also not a vendor, more a subdevice framework like dfl.

I am not sure what you mean by other dfl vendors can you give an example ?

It's fine, but the description here is a little confusing on vendor/framework
handling. No other vendor so far, but it's possible, DFL can be used in 
non-intel device, and related drivers can be reused as well. Then a fpga 
mgr driver depends on DFL, should be put inside dfl folder or new
vendor's subfolder?
