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. |
