Subject: [PATCH 3/5] doc: fpga-mgr: separate getting/locking FPGA manager
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2017 16:53:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170313215333.3008-4-atull@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170313215333.3008-1-atull@kernel.org>

Document that getting a reference to a FPGA Manager has been
separated from locking the FPGA Mangager for use.

fpga_mgr_lock/unlock functions get/release mutex.

of_fpga_mgr_get, fpga_mgr_get, and fpga_mgr_put no longer lock
the FPGA manager mutex.

This makes it more straigtforward to save a reference to
a FPGA manager and only attempting to lock it when programming
the FPGA.
