Hi Yi,

Since the FPGA image are getting bigger in size, this add an new API
fpga_mgr_firmware_stream
You could replace the guts of the current fpga_mgr_firmware_load()
with this new API (keep the old name). Unless anyone can think of a
reason to keep my old memory hog version. Assuming this all works :)

in FPGA manager, which will stream FPGA image in
4KB trunks.
chunks?
Oops.

This name is boggling my mind. :-) Something can be private or it can
be params, but it seems like params aren't really private. And later
it's referred to as 'params' although it's really private data. Could
you rename and take off the _params? That way when I'm reading
through this, I'll know that this is something that this code is
really passing to itself and I won't mistakenly think that this is a
struct that is being passed for the firmware code to consume.

Okay, will rename the structure to fpga_mgr_streaming_context?

Please add a comment here explaining that this is the callback
function, called back from the firmware code for each 4K chunk of FPGA
image.

Sure, will do.

Define a macro before the function and use it everywhere SZ_4K means
the same thing here (3 occurrences), such as

#define FW_CHUNK_SZ SZ_4K

I guess the firmware layer doesn't give us the size of the whole
firmware, so length is used for the while() below, right? Too bad
since everybody using streaming firmware is going to be writing this
same type of while statement.
Yes, with the non-streaming new driver_data_request_xx case, it will give the firmware structure with the size of image length. But with the streaming case, we will not know the size of the image file until it reach to the end of the file.

This could be "do { ... } while ((params.fw_size >= FIRMWARE_CHUNK_SZ)

Yes, this is better, thanks.
