drivers/staging/fwserial/TODO

   1 TODOs prior to this driver moving out of staging
   2 ------------------------------------------------
   3 1. Implement retries for RCODE_BUSY, RCODE_NO_ACK and RCODE_SEND_ERROR
   4    - I/O is handled asynchronously which presents some issues when error
   5      conditions occur.
   6 2. Implement _robust_ console on top of this. The existing prototype console
   7    driver is not ready for the big leagues yet.
   8 3. Expose means of controlling attach/detach of peers via sysfs. Include
   9    GUID-to-port matching/whitelist/blacklist.

  11 -- Issues with firewire stack --
  12 1. This driver uses the same unregistered vendor id that the firewire core does
  13      (0xd00d1e). Perhaps this could be exposed as a define in
  14      firewire.h?
  15 3. Maybe device_max_receive() and link_speed_to_max_payload() should be
  16      taken up by the firewire core?
  17
  18 -- Issues with TTY core --
  19   1. Hack for alternate device name scheme
  20      - because udev no longer allows device renaming, devices should have
  21        their proper names on creation. This is an issue for creating the
  22        fwloop<n> device with the fwtty<n> devices because although duplicating
  23        roughly the same operations as tty_port_register_device() isn't difficult,
  24        access to the tty_class & tty_fops is restricted in scope.
  25
  26        This is currently being worked around in create_loop_device() by
  27        extracting the tty_class ptr and tty_fops ptr from the previously created
  28        tty devices. Perhaps an add'l api can be added -- eg.,
  29        tty_{port_}register_named_device().
