    r1690 r1702  
    1212============== 
    1313 
     14* Assistance on how to fix module refcounting is welcome. 
     15  To my understanding, it does not handle client->adapter->owner 
     16  correctly now, and it is possible to rmmod adapter while one of its 
     17  clients is in use. 
     18 
     19* mkpatch. Trace back Configure changes from 2.5 tree and 
     20  have it make clean diffs. 
     21  Applies to both i2c and sensors. 
     22 
     23* ACPI and SMBus host 
     24 - ACPI subsystem may access SMBus host too. Locks? 
     25 - On my ancient board using i2c-via, suspend and power switch status 
     26   seems to be in the same register with SCL and SDA. 
     27 
     28* Suspend-to-disk, losing Vcc 
     29 - Reset i2c client to avoid alarms and SCI interrupts. Currently 
     30   sensors do not create interrupt with alarms. 
     31 
     32* Return from suspend 
     33 - Reinitialize i2c client. 
     34 
    1435* 2.4 / 2.5 cleanup 
    1536  See adm1021, lm75, i2c-amd756, and i2c-amd8111 in kernel 2.5.54 for examples 
    16         - Remove inc_use and dec_use in adapters and chips... 
     37        - Remove inc_use and dec_use in adapters and chips, convert to owner. 
    1738          Modules shouldn't adjust their own refcounts. 
    18           Do we need to move this elsewhere or just remove? 
    1939        - Convert PCI drivers to use pci_driver structs, 
    2040          registration, etc. 
    …… 
    2747        - Remove EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS 
    2848        - Remove other 2.1/2.2 #ifdefs 
     49 
    2950* Handle -1 returns from i2c layer rather than just delivering 0xFF to 
    3051  /proc and libsensors; report errors through /proc 'alarms' or
