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: + +- 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. +- Convert cec.txt to sphinx. +- 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. + +Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> |
