2
3 I2C CODE CHANGES
4 ================
5
6 * Check what happens if the ISA bus is selected by a force parameter;
7   I think the _detect procedures are called?!?
8 * Update all documentation
9
10 KERNEL MODULES
11 ==============
12
13 * LM78 detection: Tom Webster has proven that the reset bit in the
14   id register can be one (strange!)
15 * maxilife.c: Introduce new insmod variables
16 * maxilife.c: Round REG_TO_VID correctly
17 * icspll.c: Rewrite. The current implementation simply can't work at all.
18   It needs i2c-level access (too bad for SMBus-only adapters).
19 * w83781d: Some features are still unsupported for the W8378[23]. For
20   example, the extended beeps (bank 4 register 0x53).
21   Also, alarms seem to give strange results
22   sometimes, and there are some other minor problems, as indicated by
23   Jonathan Bradshaw <jonathan@NrgUp.Com>
24 * Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except
25   in Simon Vogl's i2c modules.
26 * Better general locking, or at least a once-over to check no race-conditions
27   remain. This is part of the SMP-safeness, and can better be done at once.
28 * Test SIS5595(/91/98) sensor support. Write generic i2c support.
29   Thomas Dickel <Thomas.Dickel@mni.fh-giessen.de> owns one SIS5595.
30 * adm9240: check whether the current voltage computations are correct.
31   Probably not, as they are different from the datasheet specifications.
32   Also check for the supported dallas chip.
33 * lm80: Check how OS alarms work. At page 17 of the sheet, it tells
34   something completely different from the description at page 25.
35 * gl518sm: Assume that new values are close to old values, so start with
36   trying to use a small range near the old values (already partially done)
37

39 LIBRARY
40 =======
41
42 * reload does not work (Bison/Flex problem?).
43 * Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now.
44 * Library should be split in more separate files, for better linking
45   behaviour.
46 * Some adm9240 labels start with a digit; change this, it leads to confusing
47   syntax in the conf file (they have to be quoted)
48
49 PROGRAMS
50 ========
51
52 * Sensors program needs to print a + before lm75 temperatures
53 * Sensors program needs to be extended for many new chips
54
55 OTHERS
56 ======
57
58 * Examine watchdog-4.3 or later of meskes@debian.org (Michael Meskes)
59   tsx-11.mit.edu /pub/linux/sources/sbin or
60   sunsite.unc.edu /pub/linux/system/daemons/watchdog
61 * Add experimental drivers
