1 Many, many things. Most notably:
2
3 * Check CDROM insert-remove error of Matt Mueller
4 * Create wait-queues for bus locking instead of pure semaphores, to make
5   it more interactive
6 * Check for block read/writes in smbus-on-i2c emulation code
7 * Fans give overflow if small values are written to them in /proc; other
8   features may too.
9 * At least the bit-lp and bit-velle modules do no detection on loading;
10   ask Simon whether this is possible to add.
11 * kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL can cause a context switch! Check whether this is
12   safe everywhere it is used.
13 * Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except
14   in Simon Vogl's i2c modules.
15 * Change the i2c modules to keep the namespace clean (EXPORT_SYMBOL does not
16   work for us; many static declarations need to be added; better ask Simon
17   Vogl first)
18 * Make it SMP-safe: there are no spinlocks yet. They are needed at many
19   places, probably (everywhere where global vars are accessed). This must be
20   done for the i2c modules, too.
21 * Better general locking, or at least a once-over to check no race-conditions
22   remain.
23 * Make lm78.c detect 'double hits', (same chip connected to both SMBus and
24   ISA).
25 * Better chip detection; insmod-time paramters to set addresses
26   (difficult, because of all i2c busses!).
27 * At least one case report that unused port addresses do not return 0xff
28 * Registrate which i2c addresses are used (a la ISA) for each adapter.
29 * Rename i2c-proc.c to i2c-user.c, and extend it with /dev entries;
30   or, create a better i2c-dev.c, that understands SMBus commands.
31 * Write all other drivers
32 * How to make drivers detect thing *not*; for example, if a Winbond is
33   present, the LM75 driver should not try to access its simulated
34   LM75 chips.
35 * Write a userland detection program for busses (clients are less important;
36   but perhaps needed too).
37 * Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now
38 * Test SIS5595(/91/98) sensor support. Write generic i2c support.
39   Thomas Dickel <Thomas.Dickel@mni.fh-giessen.de> owns one SIS5595.
40   The sensor data must be added to lib/chips
41 * Extend detect script to detect chips too.
