Subject: [PATCH] fpga manager: add notifier for manager register and unregister events

Add API functions for registering and removing a notifier for FPGA
manager register/unregister events. Notify when a new FPGA manager
has been registered or when an existing manager is being removed.
This will help configuration interface drivers to get the notion
of low-level FPGA managers popping up or disappearing, when using
hotpluggable FPGA configuration devices (e.g. via USB-SPI adapters).

Hi Anatolij,

This is interesting and looks pretty straightforward. Do you have any
code that uses it?

I've send a patch series for FPP manager, it will add the FPGA manager
when an FTDI based configuration device is connected via USB and the
manager will disappear when this device is unplugged. I have code
with configuration interface for this manager, but it is something
special and not suitable for mainline, I think. It creates the
configuration interface when a new manager is detected and removes
this interface when the device is detached.

Thanks,
Anatolij
