This shouldn't be asymmetric - read/write should be in the same
format.
I strongly encourage you to use text strings to indicate the state of
the configuration FSM, and I *really* think you should rework things
to have an explicit configuration FSM rather than trying to bodge one
together with a bunch of bit flags.
Plus error handling is missing, failures need to be reported back.
Noticed several typos:

AFAIK it is preferred to use DEVICE_ATTR_RO(), ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS()
and struct class.dev_groups
eg see this note in linux/device.h
struct class {
struct device_attribute *dev_attrs; /* use dev_groups instead */
const struct attribute_group **dev_groups;
}

I wonder if this is right, it seems like a strange way to make a class
subsystem, usually the struct fpga_manager would contain the 'struct
device' (not a pointer, so you can use container_of) and drvdata would
be reserved for something else.
This seems to create lifetime issues since the devm above will be
free'd when the platform driver is released, but the class device will
live on with the stray pointer. Better to allocate everything against
the class device below.
Plus you need to ensure the device is fully functionally before
device_register is called, otherwise you race with notifications to
userspace.

What happens when userspace is holding one of the sysfs files open and
you unload the module? Looks like bad things?
