From 6f29063fdc87d7ce8e977177eddf653a66b9d6dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 09:27:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Delete. Most of the items are for kernel drivers, this information no longer belongs there. The rest is hopefully implemented now. Next TODOs will be handled in trac. git-svn-id: http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/branches/lm-sensors-3.0.0@4866 7894878c-1315-0410-8ee3-d5d059ff63e0 --- TODO | 102 ----------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 102 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 TODO diff --git a/TODO b/TODO deleted file mode 100644 index ad7c2f27..00000000 --- a/TODO +++ /dev/null @@ -1,102 +0,0 @@ -LM-Sensors TODO list -Contact us if you have comments or wish to help. ------------------------------------------------- - -KERNEL MODULES -============== - -* Harmonize 'smart fan' support. - The following drivers support pwm. The ones that support - automatic or smart fan support are identified. - We have a /proc standard for manual PWM support that allows - for /proc based applications like pwmconfig and fancontrol - in our package. - Without a /proc standard for smart fan support such applications - are much more difficult. - - Driver Manual PWM Smart fan - adm1026 standard not supported - asb100 standard ?? - it87 non-std yes - lm85 standard yes - vt1211 doesn't work not supported - w83627hf standard not supported - w83781d standard not supported (791 only) - - The following drivers are for chips that have manual PWM only. - - Driver Manual PWM - mtp008 standard - smsc47m1 standard - vt8231 standard - w83781d (except 791d) standard - -* Assistance on how to fix module refcounting is welcome. - To my understanding, it does not handle client->adapter->owner - correctly now, and it is possible to rmmod adapter while one of its - clients is in use. - -* ACPI and SMBus host - - ACPI subsystem may access SMBus host too. Locks? - - On my ancient board using i2c-via, suspend and power switch status - seems to be in the same register with SCL and SDA. - -* Suspend-to-disk, losing Vcc - - Reset i2c client to avoid alarms and SCI interrupts. Currently - sensors do not create interrupt with alarms. - -* Return from suspend - - Reinitialize i2c client. - -* Handle -1 returns from i2c layer rather than just delivering 0xFF to - /proc and libsensors; report errors through /proc 'alarms' or - new 'fail' entry? See adm1021 for a partial example. - -* ALL: cleanup_module is void; check also that cleaning up is done - properly, now we know that the module will be unloaded whatever we - do. - -* ALL chip drivers: add a readonly insmod option so we don't cause APM/ACPI - to go insane. - -* gl518sm: using iterate==2 causes a tread to be started. this thread remains - even after setting iterate==1 and/or removing the gl518sm module - - -* LM78 detection: Tom Webster has proven that the reset bit in the - id register can be one (strange!) - -* maxilife.c: Introduce new insmod variables - -* maxilife.c: Round REG_TO_VID correctly - -* Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except - in Simon Vogl's i2c modules. - -* adm9240: check whether the current voltage computations are correct. - Probably not, as they are different from the datasheet specifications. - Also check for the supported dallas chip. - -* lm80: Check how OS alarms work. At page 17 of the sheet, it tells - something completely different from the description at page 25. - - -LIBRARY -======= - -* Easier use of /proc and libsensors without knowing the chip type - At the moment a programmer wishing to use the lm_sensors package needs to know - what chips are supported and needs to add all those chips into his package. - If you were to add a field or function to your structures to the effect of - sensor-function a programmer could use the package a lot more simply. - For values you could do something like - - enum sensor-type { volt, fan, temp, volt_min, volt_max, fan_div, fan_min, - temp_over, temp_hyst } - -* Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now. - -* Library should be split in more separate files, for better linking - behaviour. - -* Some adm9240 labels start with a digit; change this, it leads to confusing - syntax in the conf file (they have to be quoted)
