It's fine, but the description here is a little confusing on vendor/framework handling. No other vendor so far, but it's possible, DFL can be used in non-intel device, and related drivers can be reused as well. Then a fpga mgr driver depends on DFL, should be put inside dfl folder or new vendor's subfolder? Hao
