OK, so you need a driver or subsystem that implements FPGA updates then - depending on what that looks like the FPGA or MTD subsystems seem likely to be candidates, or perhaps the MFD for your device should provide something as part of the core functionality. All the issues I raised earlier apply here, spidev is rarely a good idea for production use and certainly not in cases where there are actual drivers sharing the device. > > Please don't send content free pings and please allow a reasonable time > > for review.

You need to take this up with your mail provider.
