+Description:	Name of low level fpga manager driver.

+Description:	Read fpga manager state as a string.
+		The intent is to provide enough detail that if something goes
+		wrong during FPGA programming (something that the driver can't
+		fix) then userspace can know, i.e. if the firmware request
+		fails, that could be due to not being able to find the firmware
+		file.
+
+		This is a superset of FPGA states and fpga manager driver
+		states.  The fpga manager driver is walking through these steps
+		to get the FPGA into a known operating state.  It's a sequence,
+		though some steps may get skipped.  Valid FPGA states will vary
+		by manufacturer; this is a superset.
+
+		* unknown		= can't determine state
+		* power off		= FPGA power is off
+		* power up		= FPGA reports power is up
+		* reset			= FPGA held in reset state
+		* firmware request	= firmware class request in progress
+		* firmware request error = firmware request failed
+		* write init		= preparing FPGA for programming
+		* write init error	= Error while preparing FPGA for
+					  programming
+		* write			= FPGA ready to receive image data
+		* write error		= Error while programming
+		* write complete	= Doing post programming steps
+		* write complete error	= Error while doing post programming
+		* operating		= FPGA is programmed and operating
