Many, many things. Most notably:
* Sensors program needs to print a + before lm75 temperatures
* Timer chips - block read problems?
* Library: reload does not work (Bison/Flex problem?)
* Create wait-queues for bus locking instead of pure semaphores, to make
it more interactive
* Check for block read/writes in smbus-on-i2c emulation code
* Better bounds checking for writes to /proc; fan_min values now checked
but other features may need too.
KERNEL MODULES
==============
* Module documentation!!!
* maxilife.c: Introduce new insmod variables
* maxilife.c: Round REG_TO_VID correctly
* icspll.c: Rewrite. The current implementation simply can't work at all.
It needs i2c-level access (too bad for SMBus-only adapters).
* Create wait-queues for bus locking instead of pure semaphores in the i2c
base modules, to make it more interactive (right now one process can
monopolize the entire adapter)
* Find some soulation for block reads in smbus-on-i2c emulation code
We need a hack in the i2c level code for this :-(
* At least the bit-lp and bit-velle modules do no detection on loading;
ask Simon whether this is possible to add.
* kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL can cause a context switch! Check whether this is
safe everywhere it is used.
* Support 10-bit addresses. At this moment, they are supported nowhere, except
in Simon Vogl's i2c modules.
* Change the i2c modules to keep the namespace clean (EXPORT_SYMBOL does not

places, probably (everywhere where global vars are accessed). This must be
done for the i2c modules, too.
* Better general locking, or at least a once-over to check no race-conditions
remain.
* Make lm78.c detect 'double hits', (same chip connected to both SMBus and
ISA).
* Better chip detection; insmod-time paramters to set addresses
(difficult, because of all i2c busses!).
* At least one case report that unused port addresses do not return 0xff
remain. This is part of the SMP-safeness, and can better be done at once.
* Register which i2c addresses are used (a la ISA) for each adapter.
* Rename i2c-proc.c to i2c-user.c, and extend it with /dev entries;
or, create a better i2c-dev.c, that understands SMBus commands.
* Write all other drivers
* How to make drivers detect thing *not*; for example, if a Winbond is
present, the LM75 driver should not try to access its simulated
LM75 chips.
* Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now
* Test SIS5595(/91/98) sensor support. Write generic i2c support.
Thomas Dickel <Thomas.Dickel@mni.fh-giessen.de> owns one SIS5595.
* Make GL518SM rev 00 voltage iteration run as a kernel thread.
Add libsensors support for the new readable registers.
* Sensors, sensors.conf.eg: add ADM1021 and ADM9240 support.
* adm9240: check whether the current voltage computations are correct.
Probably not, as they are different from the datasheet specifications.
Also check for the supported dallas chip.
LIBRARY
=======
* reload does not work (Bison/Flex problem?).
* Some library routines are pretty inefficient right now.
* Library should be split in more separate files, for better linking
behaviour.
* Many chips are not yet supported by the library.
PROGRAMS
========
* Sensors program needs to print a + before lm75 temperatures
* Sensors program needs to be extended for many new chips
