** Summary changed:

- linux: Enable CONFIG_FPGA for Azure cloud kernel
+ linux: Enable CONFIG_FPGA_MGR_XILINX_SPI for Azure cloud kernel

** Description changed:

  [SRU Justification]
  
  Microsoft Azure clouds support the use of a Xilinx FPGA to accelerate
  machine learning and other high performance tasks. The master kernels
  have had this option since the beginning. The lack of this option for
  Azure appears to have been an oversight.
  
  [Fix]
- Enable CONFIG_FPGA=m and all FPGA management modules. Add these modules to 
the inclusion list.
+ Enable CONFIG_FPGA=m and CONFIG_FPGA_MGR_XILINX_SPI=m. Add these modules to 
the inclusion list.
  
  [Test Plan]
  insmod xilinx-spi
  
- 
  [Where problems could occur]
  The chances for regression are minimal as all additions are modules.
