[PATCH] Staging: VME: Update TODO file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Contents of TODO file has become more of a feature wish-list rather than issues
which should stop the VME driver being merged into the mainline kernel.

Update the TODO list with issues that need to be resolved before it can be
migrated to mainline.

Rather than deleting this file completely, I have added the one critisism that
I feel may be raised when we try to move this to mainline. To that end, I have a
driver for a VME slave that I am working on adapting to the new probing method
which will hopefully resolve this.

-Master window broadcast select mask

-
-Add optional timeout when waiting for an IACK.
