3 I2C CODE CHANGES
4 ================
5
6 * Update all documentation
7
8 KERNEL MODULES
9 ==============
10
11 * Add string function in sensors.o
12 * ALL: cleanup_module is void; check also that cleaning up is done
13   properly, now we know that the module will be unloaded whatever we
14   do.
15 * gl518sm: using iterate==2 causes a tread to be started. this thread remains
16   even after setting iterate==1 and/or removing the gl518sm module
17   <koenig@uranus.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de>
18 * LM78 detection: Tom Webster has proven that the reset bit in the
19   id register can be one (strange!)
20 * maxilife.c: Introduce new insmod variables
21 * maxilife.c: Round REG_TO_VID correctly
22 * icspll.c: Rewrite. The current implementation simply can't work at all.
23   It needs i2c-level access (too bad for SMBus-only adapters).
24 * w83781d: Some features are still unsupported for the W8378[23].
25   Also, alarms seem to give strange results
26   sometimes, and there are some other minor problems, as indicated by
27   Jonathan Bradshaw <jonathan@NrgUp.Com>
28 * Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except
29   in Simon Vogl's i2c modules.
30 * Better general locking, or at least a once-over to check no race-conditions
31   remain. This is part of the SMP-safeness, and can better be done at once.
32 * Test SIS5595(/91/98) sensor support and SMBus support
33   Thomas Dickel <Thomas.Dickel@mni.fh-giessen.de> owns one SIS5595.
34 * adm9240: check whether the current voltage computations are correct.
35   Probably not, as they are different from the datasheet specifications.
36   Also check for the supported dallas chip.
37 * lm80: Check how OS alarms work. At page 17 of the sheet, it tells
38   something completely different from the description at page 25.
39 * gl518sm: Assume that new values are close to old values, so start with
40   trying to use a small range near the old values (already partially done)
41 * lm77: Add detection in lm75.c and sensors-detect to distinguish from
42   an lm75. Add support for the two new registers.
43 * Add MTP006F chip: http://www.myson.com/Pcd/MTP006/Mtp006.pdf
44   gfiala@s.netic.de (Guido Fiala) has one on his mainboard
45 * Figure out what chips are appearing at 0x08 and 0x30
46
47 LIBRARY
48 =======
49
50 * reload does not work (Bison/Flex problem?).
51 * Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now.
52 * Library should be split in more separate files, for better linking
53   behaviour.
54 * Some adm9240 labels start with a digit; change this, it leads to confusing
55   syntax in the conf file (they have to be quoted)
56
57 PROGRAMS
58 ========
59
60 * Sensors program needs to print a + before lm75 temperatures
61 * Sensors program needs to be extended for many new chips
62
63 OTHERS
64 ======
65
66 * Examine watchdog-4.3 or later of meskes@debian.org (Michael Meskes)
67   tsx-11.mit.edu /pub/linux/sources/sbin or
68   sunsite.unc.edu /pub/linux/system/daemons/watchdog
69 * Add experimental drivers
