2024-04-23fpga: region: add owner module and take its refcountMarco Pagani
The current implementation of the fpga region assumes that the low-level module registers a driver for the parent device and uses its owner pointer to take the module's refcount. This approach is problematic since it can lead to a null pointer dereference while attempting to get the region during programming if the parent device does not have a driver. To address this problem, add a module owner pointer to the fpga_region struct and use it to take the module's refcount. Modify the functions for registering a region to take an additional owner module parameter and rename them to avoid conflicts. Use the old function names for helper macros that automatically set the module that registers the region as the owner. This ensures compatibility with existing low-level control modules and reduces the chances of registering a region without setting the owner. Also, update the documentation to keep it consistent with the new interface for registering an fpga region.

2021-11-28fpga: region: Use standard dev_release for class driverRuss Weight
The FPGA region class driver data structure is being treated as a managed resource instead of using the standard dev_release call-back function to release the class data structure. This change removes the managed resource code and combines the create() and register() functions into a single register() or register_full() function. The register_full() function accepts an info data structure to provide flexibility in passing optional parameters. The register() function supports the current parameter list for users that don't require the use of optional parameters.

2021-07-21docs: driver-api: fpga: avoid using UTF-8 charsMauro Carvalho Chehab
While UTF-8 characters can be used at the Linux documentation, the best is to use them only when ASCII doesn't offer a good replacement. So, replace the occurences of the following UTF-8 characters: - U+2014 ('—'): EM DASH Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Moritz Fischer <mdf@kernel.org>

2020-10-15docs: get rid of :c:type explicit declarations for structsMauro Carvalho Chehab
The :c:type:`foo` only works properly with structs before Sphinx 3.x. On Sphinx 3.x, structs should now be declared using the .. c:struct, and referenced via :c:struct tag. As we now have the automarkup.py macro, that automatically convert: struct foo into cross-references, let's get rid of that, solving several warnings when building docs with Sphinx 3.x.
