I have started porting the vt1211 driver to kernel 2.6 This is my first contact with any linux kernel code so I beg you to bare with me! I have looked at the patches and I'm starting to understand what is going on. It's pretty well documented and the instructions are easy to follow.Currently I have completed these changes: [Includes] complete [Addresses] complete [Client data] I have not changed any register names. Do I have to do that? [Function Prototypes] flages are gone. I have more than five prototypes is that something I have to modify? [Sysctl] I now understand what I have to do to port this to sysfs instead of procfs. I have to write "show" functions to replace all the current functions that have a SENSORS_PROC_REAL_READ and a "set" function to replace every function that has a SENSORS_PROC_REAL_WRITE. I don't quite grasp what the SENSORS_PROC_REAL_INFO operation does, can it safely be ignored? Then I have to issue DEVICE_ATTR for every value the chip read to create the callback link to the "set" and "show" functions. I have read the section on i2c sysfs filenames but I have some questions. Alarms have more then one value (all the alarms are accessed through it) in the file. Are the values in the current implementation scaled? Do I have to multiply everything by 1000? What do I do with the vt1211_uch function? It's not specified in the sysfs-interface file. [Attatch] How do I know if my chip uses ISA only? [Detect] There is only one ERRORX. Should I call it ERROR0? Is it safe to remove the "sysctl stuff" that I commented out? From what I can tell err is set correctly, is this true? [Update] completed [Interface] completed I will integrate it into the kernel and update the layout, replace all printk etc once I get it working. I'm currently compiling it with this command: make -C /usr/src/linux/ SUBDIRS="$PWD" modules I have attached the files and the compilation result so far. I don't know what do to about this error: /home/deepthink/code/UGV/kernelDrivers/vt1211/vt1211.c: In function `vt1211_detect': /home/deepthink/code/UGV/kernelDrivers/vt1211/vt1211.c:395: warning: `check_region' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/ioport.h:119) Thank you for your help.
