[m.chehab@samsung.com: Add a patch description; add a note about the CodingStyle issues and make sure that the README lines are not bigger than 80 cols.] Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab --- diff --git a/drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/TODO b/drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/TODO new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..051f85dbe89e --- /dev/null +++ b/drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/TODO @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +TODO: + +From the initial code review: + +The main thing you need to do is to implement all the controls using the +control framework (see Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-controls.txt). +Most drivers are by now converted to the control framework, so you will +find many examples of how to do this in drivers/media/radio. + +The sysfs stuff should be replaced by controls as well. A lot of the RDS +support is now available as controls (although there may well be some +missing features, but that is easy enough to add). Since the RDS data is +actually read() from the device I am not sure whether the RDS +properties/controls should be there at all. + +Correct Coding Style, as this driver also violates several Style +rules, and do evil tricks, like returning from a function inside a +macro. + +Finally this driver should probably be split up into two parts: one +v4l2_subdev-based core driver and one platform driver. See e.g. +radio-si4713/si4713-i2c.c as a good example. But I would wait with that +until the rest of the driver is cleaned up. Then I have a better idea of +whether this is necessary or not.
