Each DFL functional block, e.g. AFU (Accelerated Function Unit) and FME (FPGA Management Engine), could implement more than one function within its region, but current driver only allows one user application to access it by exclusive open on device node. So this is not convenient and flexible for userspace applications, as they have to combine lots of different functions into one single application. This patch removes the limitation here to allow multiple opens to each feature device node for AFU and FME from userspace applications. If user still needs exclusive access to these device node, O_EXCL flag must be issued together with open.

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.
