+Altera Passive Serial SPI FPGA Manager
+
+Altera FPGAs support a method of loading the bitstream over what is
+referred to as "passive serial".
+The passive serial link is not technically SPI, and might require extra
+circuits in order to play nicely with other SPI slaves on the same bus.
+
+See https://www.altera.com/literature/hb/cyc/cyc_c51013.pdf
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Must be one of the following:
+	"altr,fpga-passive-serial",
+	"altr,fpga-arria10-passive-serial"
+- reg: SPI chip select of the FPGA
+- nconfig-gpios: config pin (referred to as nCONFIG in the manual)
+- nstat-gpios: status pin (referred to as nSTATUS in the manual)
+
+Optional properties:
+- confd-gpios: confd pin (referred to as CONF_DONE in the manual)
+
+Example:
+	fpga: fpga@0 {
+		compatible = "altr,fpga-passive-serial";
+		spi-max-frequency = <20000000>;
+		reg = <0>;
+		nconfig-gpios = <&gpio4 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+		nstat-gpios = <&gpio4 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+		confd-gpios = <&gpio4 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+	};
