KERNEL MODULES |
|---|
| 12 |
============== |
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 |
* Design a standard /proc interface for chips with automatic fan control |
|---|
| 15 |
* Add string function in sensors.o |
|---|
| 16 |
* ALL: cleanup_module is void; check also that cleaning up is done |
|---|
| 17 |
properly, now we know that the module will be unloaded whatever we |
|---|
| 18 |
do. |
|---|
| 19 |
* ALL chip drivers: add a readonly insmod option so we don't cause APM/ACPI |
|---|
| 20 |
to go insane. |
|---|
| 21 |
* gl518sm: using iterate==2 causes a tread to be started. this thread remains |
|---|
| 22 |
even after setting iterate==1 and/or removing the gl518sm module |
|---|
| 23 |
<koenig@uranus.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de> |
|---|
| 24 |
* LM78 detection: Tom Webster has proven that the reset bit in the |
|---|
| 25 |
id register can be one (strange!) |
|---|
| 26 |
* maxilife.c: Introduce new insmod variables |
|---|
| 27 |
* maxilife.c: Round REG_TO_VID correctly |
|---|
| 28 |
* icspll.c: Rewrite. The current implementation simply can't work at all. |
|---|
| 29 |
It needs i2c-level access (too bad for SMBus-only adapters). |
|---|
| 30 |
* w83781d: Some features are still unsupported for the W8378[23]. |
|---|
| 31 |
Also, alarms seem to give strange results |
|---|
| 32 |
sometimes, and there are some other minor problems, as indicated by |
|---|
| 33 |
Jonathan Bradshaw <jonathan@NrgUp.Com> |
|---|
| 34 |
* Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except |
|---|
| 35 |
in Simon Vogl's i2c modules. |
|---|
| 36 |
* Better general locking, or at least a once-over to check no race-conditions |
|---|
| 37 |
remain. This is part of the SMP-safeness, and can better be done at once. |
|---|
| 38 |
* adm9240: check whether the current voltage computations are correct. |
|---|
| 39 |
Probably not, as they are different from the datasheet specifications. |
|---|
| 40 |
Also check for the supported dallas chip. |
|---|
| 41 |
* lm80: Check how OS alarms work. At page 17 of the sheet, it tells |
|---|
| 42 |
something completely different from the description at page 25. |
|---|
| 43 |
* gl518sm: Assume that new values are close to old values, so start with |
|---|
| 44 |
trying to use a small range near the old values (already partially done) |
|---|
| 45 |
* lm77: Add detection in lm75.c and sensors-detect to distinguish from |
|---|
| 46 |
an lm75. Add support for the two new registers. |
|---|
| 47 |
* Add MTP006F chip: http://www.myson.com/Pcd/MTP006/Mtp006.pdf |
|---|
| 48 |
gfiala@s.netic.de (Guido Fiala) has one on his mainboard |

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) |
