Hi Joel,

Thanks for submitting your driver!

I didn't see any huge problems, just minor things below...

Both could be singular ...-gpio since only one gpio should be specified.

Could this be ice40-spi.c?

state is never used. You could just remove it.

fpga_mgr_register will call your ice40_fpga_ops_state() function to
get its initial state. That's the only time this gets called. So
you could return one of the enum fpga_mgr_states here. I'm guessing
FPGA_MGR_STATE_UNKNOWN. I'm realizing that there will be devices
that don't really know what initial state they are in; I could have
removed the absolute requirement for the state in the fpga_manager_ops
and assumed FPGA_MGR_STATE_UNKNOWN unless a low level driver provided
a state function. But for now, just return FPGA_MGR_STATE_UNKNOWN
here unless you have a way of knowing what state you are in when
the driver is probed.

Checkpatch complains about alignment here.

Would usleep_range work for you since it's more than 10uSec
(Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt)?

Checkpatch complains about alignment here also.

It's not necessary to specify .owner anymore.
