This patch adds support for the Nios handshake private feature on Intel PAC (Programmable Acceleration Card) N3000. The Nios is the embedded processor on the FPGA card. This private feature provides a handshake interface to FPGA Nios firmware, which receives retimer configuration command from host and executes via an internal SPI master (spi-altera). When Nios finishes the configuration, host takes over the ownership of the SPI master to control an Intel MAX10 BMC (Board Management Controller) Chip on the SPI bus. For Nios firmware handshake part, this driver requests the retimer configuration for Nios firmware on probe, and adds some sysfs nodes for user to query the onboard retimer's working mode and Nios firmware version. For SPI part, this driver adds a spi-altera platform device as well as the MAX10 BMC spi slave info. A spi-altera driver will be matched to handle the following SPI work.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
