1 Many, many things. Most notably:
2
3 KERNEL MODULES
4 ==============
5
6 * linux/Documentation/devices.txt lists i2c0, i2c1 etc. instead of i2c-0, i2c-1
7 * LM78 detection: Tom Webster has proven that the reset bit in the
8   id register can be one (strange!)
9 * Check for kernel 2.0.8 warnings
10 * Increase use count of adapter driver if directory of chip is entered
11 * maxilife.c: Introduce new insmod variables
12 * maxilife.c: Round REG_TO_VID correctly
13 * icspll.c: Rewrite. The current implementation simply can't work at all.
14   It needs i2c-level access (too bad for SMBus-only adapters).
15 * w83781d: Some features are still unsupported for the W8378[23]. For
16   example, the extended beeps (bank 4 register 0x53).
17   Also, alarms seem to give strange results
18   sometimes, and there are some other minor problems, as indicated by
19   Jonathan Bradshaw <jonathan@NrgUp.Com>
20 * Create wait-queues for bus locking instead of pure semaphores in the i2c
21   base modules, to make it more interactive (right now one process can
22   monopolize the entire adapter)
23 * Find some solution for block reads in smbus-on-i2c emulation code
24   We need a hack in the i2c level code for this :-(
25 * At least the bit-lp and bit-velle modules do no detection on loading;
26   ask Simon whether this is possible to add.
27 * Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except
28   in Simon Vogl's i2c modules.
29 * Change the i2c modules to keep the namespace clean (EXPORT_SYMBOL does not
30   work for us; many static declarations need to be added; better ask Simon
31   Vogl first)
32 * Make it SMP-safe: there are no spinlocks yet. They are needed at many
33   places, probably (everywhere where global vars are accessed). This must be
34   done for the i2c modules, too.
35 * Better general locking, or at least a once-over to check no race-conditions
36   remain. This is part of the SMP-safeness, and can better be done at once.
37 * Register which i2c addresses are used (a la ISA) for each adapter.
38 * Test SIS5595(/91/98) sensor support. Write generic i2c support.
39   Thomas Dickel <Thomas.Dickel@mni.fh-giessen.de> owns one SIS5595.
40 * adm9240: check whether the current voltage computations are correct.
41   Probably not, as they are different from the datasheet specifications.
42   Also check for the supported dallas chip.
43 * lm80: Check how OS alarms work. At page 17 of the sheet, it tells
44   something completely different from the description at page 25.
45 * gl518sm: Assume that new values are close to old values, so start with
46   trying to use a small range near the old values (already partially done)

48 LIBRARY
49 =======
50
51 * reload does not work (Bison/Flex problem?).
52 * Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now.
53 * Library should be split in more separate files, for better linking
54   behaviour.
55
56 PROGRAMS
57 ========
58
59 * Sensors program needs to print a + before lm75 temperatures
60 * Sensors program needs to be extended for many new chips
61
62 OTHERS
63 ======
64
65 * Examine watchdog-4.3 or later of meskes@debian.org (Michael Meskes)
