1This is a list of things that need to be done to get this driver out of the 2staging directory. 3 4- Implement the gasket framework's functionality through UIO instead of 5 introducing a new user-space drivers framework that is quite similar. 6 7 UIO provides the necessary bits to implement user-space drivers. Meanwhile 8 the gasket APIs adds some extra conveniences like PCI BAR mapping, and 9 MSI interrupts. Add these features to the UIO subsystem, then re-implement 10 the Apex driver as a basic UIO driver instead (include/linux/uio_driver.h) 11 12- Document sysfs files with Documentation/ABI/ entries. 13 14- Use misc interface instead of major number for driver version description. 15 16- Add descriptions of module_param's 17 18- apex_get_status() should actually check status. 19 20- "drivers" should never be dealing with "raw" sysfs calls or mess around with 21 kobjects at all. The driver core should handle all of this for you 22 automaically. There should not be a need for raw attribute macros. 23
