The kABI is fine, +no problem there, but I would like to let the public API mature +a bit. + +Once I'm confident that I didn't miss anything then the cec.c source +can move to drivers/media and the linux/cec.h and linux/cec-funcs.h +headers can move to uapi/linux and added to uapi/linux/Kbuild to make +them public. + +Hopefully this will happen later in 2016. + +Other TODOs: + +- There are two possible replies to CEC_MSG_INITIATE_ARC. How to handle that? +- Add a flag to inhibit passing CEC RC messages to the rc subsystem. + Applications should be able to choose this when calling S_LOG_ADDRS. +- If the reply field of cec_msg is set then when the reply arrives it + is only sent to the filehandle that transmitted the original message + and not to any followers. Should this behavior change or perhaps + controlled through a cec_msg flag? +- Should CEC_LOG_ADDR_TYPE_SPECIFIC be replaced by TYPE_2ND_TV and TYPE_PROCESSOR? + And also TYPE_SWITCH and TYPE_CDC_ONLY in addition to the TYPE_UNREGISTERED? + This should give the framework more information about the device type + since SPECIFIC and UNREGISTERED give no useful information. +- Once this is out of staging this should no longer be a separate + config option, instead it should be selected by drivers that want it. +- Revisit the IS_REACHABLE(RC_CORE): perhaps the RC_CORE support should + be enabled through a separate config option in drivers/media/Kconfig + or rc/Kconfig? + +Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> |
