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