11Description:	Read fpga manager state as a string.
12		The intent is to provide enough detail that if something goes
13		wrong during FPGA programming (something that the driver can't
14		fix) then userspace can know, i.e. if the firmware request
15		fails, that could be due to not being able to find the firmware
16		file.
17
18		This is a superset of FPGA states and fpga manager driver
19		states.  The fpga manager driver is walking through these steps
20		to get the FPGA into a known operating state.  It's a sequence,
21		though some steps may get skipped.  Valid FPGA states will vary
22		by manufacturer; this is a superset.
23
24		* unknown		= can't determine state
25		* power off		= FPGA power is off
26		* power up		= FPGA reports power is up
27		* reset			= FPGA held in reset state
28		* firmware request	= firmware class request in progress
29		* firmware request error = firmware request failed
30		* write init		= preparing FPGA for programming
31		* write init error	= Error while preparing FPGA for
32					  programming
33		* write			= FPGA ready to receive image data
34		* write error		= Error while programming
35		* write complete	= Doing post programming steps
36		* write complete error	= Error while doing post programming
37		* operating		= FPGA is programmed and operating
