- 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.
