A few general things.

Use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to find who a patch should go to, i should have been on the cc line.

Each patch should at a minimum pass scripts/checkpatch.pl, none do.

Looking broadly at the files, there are competing names xrt or alveo.

It seems like xrt is the dfl equivalent, so maybe

drivers/fpga/alveo should be drivers/fpga/xrt

There are a lot of files with unnecessary prefixes

ex/

fpga/alveo/include/xrt-ucs.h could just be fpga/alveo/include/ucs.h

individual subdev's may not belong in the fpga subsystem.

I think it would be better to submit these one at a time as is done for dfl.

So this will not block getting the basics done, in the next revision, can you leave the subdev's out ?

Because of the checkpatch.pl failures, I will wait for the next revision.
