11 KERNEL MODULES
12 ==============
13
14 * Add string function in sensors.o
15 * ALL: cleanup_module is void; check also that cleaning up is done
16   properly, now we know that the module will be unloaded whatever we
17   do.
18 * ALL chip drivers: add a readonly insmod option so we don't cause APM/ACPI
19   to go insane.
20 * gl518sm: using iterate==2 causes a tread to be started. this thread remains
21   even after setting iterate==1 and/or removing the gl518sm module
22   <koenig@uranus.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de>
23 * LM78 detection: Tom Webster has proven that the reset bit in the
24   id register can be one (strange!)
25 * maxilife.c: Introduce new insmod variables
26 * maxilife.c: Round REG_TO_VID correctly
27 * icspll.c: Rewrite. The current implementation simply can't work at all.
28   It needs i2c-level access (too bad for SMBus-only adapters).
29 * w83781d: Some features are still unsupported for the W8378[23].
30   Also, alarms seem to give strange results
31   sometimes, and there are some other minor problems, as indicated by
32   Jonathan Bradshaw <jonathan@NrgUp.Com>
33 * Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except
34   in Simon Vogl's i2c modules.
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 * adm9240: check whether the current voltage computations are correct.
38   Probably not, as they are different from the datasheet specifications.
39   Also check for the supported dallas chip.
40 * lm80: Check how OS alarms work. At page 17 of the sheet, it tells
41   something completely different from the description at page 25.
42 * gl518sm: Assume that new values are close to old values, so start with
43   trying to use a small range near the old values (already partially done)
44 * lm77: Add detection in lm75.c and sensors-detect to distinguish from
45   an lm75. Add support for the two new registers.
46 * Add MTP006F chip: http://www.myson.com/Pcd/MTP006/Mtp006.pdf
47   gfiala@s.netic.de (Guido Fiala) has one on his mainboard
48 * Figure out what chips are appearing at 0x08 and 0x30

51 LIBRARY
52 =======
53
54 * reload does not work (Bison/Flex problem?).
55 * Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now.
56 * Library should be split in more separate files, for better linking
57   behaviour.
58 * Some adm9240 labels start with a digit; change this, it leads to confusing
59   syntax in the conf file (they have to be quoted)
60
61
62 PROGRAMS
63 ========
64
65 * Sensors program needs to print a + before lm75 temperatures
66 * Sensors program needs to be extended for many new chips
67
68
69 OTHERS
70 ======
71
72 * Examine watchdog-4.3 or later of meskes@debian.org (Michael Meskes)
73   tsx-11.mit.edu /pub/linux/sources/sbin or
74   sunsite.unc.edu /pub/linux/system/daemons/watchdog
