This is a list of things that need to be done to get this driver out of the
|
staging directory.
|
|
- Implement the gasket framework's functionality through UIO instead of
|
introducing a new user-space drivers framework that is quite similar.
|
|
UIO provides the necessary bits to implement user-space drivers. Meanwhile
|
the gasket APIs adds some extra conveniences like PCI BAR mapping, and
|
MSI interrupts. Add these features to the UIO subsystem, then re-implement
|
the Apex driver as a basic UIO driver instead (include/linux/uio_driver.h)
|
|
- Document sysfs files with Documentation/ABI/ entries.
|
|
- Use misc interface instead of major number for driver version description.
|
|
- Add descriptions of module_param's
|
|
- apex_get_status() should actually check status.
|
|
- "drivers" should never be dealing with "raw" sysfs calls or mess around with
|
kobjects at all. The driver core should handle all of this for you
|
automaically. There should not be a need for raw attribute macros.
