What is a "Manager"? It is so broad and unspecific... It is some dedicated hardware to communicate with FPGA or you just called this regular FPGA interface exposed to the CPU/SoC?"FPGA Manager" is a kernel subsystem that exports a set of functions for programming an FPGA with a bitstream image. See Documentation/driver-api/fpga/fpga-mgr.rstThis is what you want to include in the bindings document? How is it related to bindings? We do not talk about driver API but we talk about hardware. Bindings are for the hardware.I've send out v3 not too long ago. If you found the wording there not good enough, could you look through Documentation/devicetree/bindings/fpga/ and point me to a proper example?quoted

+ +properties: + compatible: + enum: + - lattice,ecp5-spi-fpga-mgrDo not encode interface name in compatible so no "spi".Recently when I submitted FPGA manager for Microchip PolarFire, I was asked the opposite, to add "spi" in compatible. The reason was that FPGA can be programmed through other interfaces as well.I don't see such comment from Rob (DT maintainer): https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=%22dt-bindings%3A+fpga%3A+add+binding+doc+for+microchip-spi+fpga+mgr%22 Can you point me to it?Yeah, it was not Rob but other developer: https://lore.kernel.org/all/79328410-e56f-7c8a-9d17-de9bfdb98f51@microchip.com/ (local)
The type of bus should not be included in the compatible. It's obvious by looking at the parent, so Conor's comment was not helpful, IMO.
And at that point I had not even written the bindings doc, so neither you nor Rob weren't in the Cc. But eventually Rob reviewed DT bindings doc for PolarFire with compatible string to be "microchip,mpf-spi-fpga-mgr" https://lore.kernel.org/all/YkORrgC1FdzaKCMW@robh.at.kernel.org/ (local) So I thought it was OK.
If spi was at the end, probably would be easier to spot thus would trigger a comment. Best regards, Krzysztof
