Two things here: I'd prefer calling the attribute "image" rather than "readback"

This should be an entry per fpga manager, not one entry for the whole
framework, so

cat /sys/kernel/debug/fpga/fpga0/image

Here you should return an error for mgr's that don't support read function:

if (!mgr->mops->read)
    return -ENOENT;

Then you probably should lock the mgr so that nobody tries to write it
while you are reading.  If you can't lock it, return -EBUSY.

If the FPGA isn't programmed, I'm not sure that EBUSY would be the
correct error.

Don't need this return here since we return right afterwards anyway.

Suggest including the name of the debugfs file in the name since more
debugfs files will be added over time, so

s/fpga_mgr_debugops/fpga_mgr_ops_image/ or something.

I'd prefer an added config such as CONFIG_FPGA_MGR_DEBUG_FS.

Please add note that the read ops is optional similar to below.
