Frodo Looijaard 97a5c5637f Detect now ouputs an overview of what drivers to load and which you
definitely should not load.

Also fixed GL520 detection bug. Some other bugs are probably still there.

The report is generated using a very intricate data structure. There
can easily be hidden problems. Just test, test, test :-)

Many, many things. Most notably:
* bit-lp increases module count stupidly
* 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
* Fans give overflow if small values are written to them in /proc; other
features may too.
* 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
work for us; many static declarations need to be added; better ask Simon
Vogl first)
* Make it SMP-safe: there are no spinlocks yet. They are needed at many
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
* Registrate 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.
* Write a userland detection program for busses (clients are less important;
but perhaps needed too).
* 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.
The sensor data must be added to lib/chips
* Extend detect script to detect chips too.
