+===========================
+FPGA Hotplug Manager Driver
+===========================
+
+Authors:
+
+- Tianfei Zhang <tianfei.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>
+
+There are some board managements for PCIe-based FPGA card like burning the entire
+image, loading a new FPGA image or BMC firmware in FPGA deployment of data center
+or cloud. For example, loading a new FPGA image, the driver needs to remove all of
+PCI devices like PFs/VFs and as well as any other types of devices (platform, etc.)
+defined within the FPGA. After triggering the image load of the FPGA card via BMC,
+the driver reconfigures the PCI bus. The FPGA Hotplug Manager (fpgahp) driver manages
+those devices and functions leveraging the PCI hotplug framework to deal with the
+reconfiguration of the PCI bus and removal/probe of PCI devices below the FPGA card.
+
+This fpgahp driver adds 2 new callbacks to extend the hotplug mechanism to
+allow selecting and loading a new FPGA image.
+
+ - available_images: Optional: called to return the available images of a FPGA card.
+ - image_load: Optional: called to load a new image for a FPGA card.
+
+In general, the fpgahp driver provides some sysfs files::
+
+ /sys/bus/pci/slots/<X-X>/available_images
+ /sys/bus/pci/slots/<X-X>/image_load
