Contributions are solicited in particular to remedy the following issues:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
cpcihp:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* There are no implementations of the ->hardware_test, ->get_power and
 | 
						|
  ->set_power callbacks in struct cpci_hp_controller_ops.  Why were they
 | 
						|
  introduced?  Can they be removed from the struct?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
cpqphp:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* The driver spawns a kthread cpqhp_event_thread() which is woken by the
 | 
						|
  hardirq handler cpqhp_ctrl_intr().  Convert this to threaded IRQ handling.
 | 
						|
  The kthread is also woken from the timer pushbutton_helper_thread(),
 | 
						|
  convert it to call irq_wake_thread().  Use pciehp as a template.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* A large portion of cpqphp_ctrl.c and cpqphp_pci.c concerns resource
 | 
						|
  management.  Doesn't this duplicate functionality in the core?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ibmphp:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Implementations of hotplug_slot_ops callbacks such as get_adapter_present()
 | 
						|
  in ibmphp_core.c create a copy of the struct slot on the stack, then perform
 | 
						|
  the actual operation on that copy.  Determine if this overhead is necessary,
 | 
						|
  delete it if not.  The functions also perform a NULL pointer check on the
 | 
						|
  struct hotplug_slot, this seems superfluous.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Several functions access the pci_slot member in struct hotplug_slot even
 | 
						|
  though pci_hotplug.h declares it private.  See get_max_bus_speed() for an
 | 
						|
  example.  Either the pci_slot member should no longer be declared private
 | 
						|
  or ibmphp should store a pointer to its bus in struct slot.  Probably the
 | 
						|
  former.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* ibmphp_init_devno() takes a struct slot **, it could instead take a
 | 
						|
  struct slot *.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* The return value of pci_hp_register() is not checked.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* The various slot data structures are difficult to follow and need to be
 | 
						|
  simplified.  A lot of functions are too large and too complex, they need
 | 
						|
  to be broken up into smaller, manageable pieces.  Negative examples are
 | 
						|
  ebda_rsrc_controller() and configure_bridge().
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* A large portion of ibmphp_res.c and ibmphp_pci.c concerns resource
 | 
						|
  management.  Doesn't this duplicate functionality in the core?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
sgi_hotplug:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Several functions access the pci_slot member in struct hotplug_slot even
 | 
						|
  though pci_hotplug.h declares it private.  See sn_hp_destroy() for an
 | 
						|
  example.  Either the pci_slot member should no longer be declared private
 | 
						|
  or sgi_hotplug should store a pointer to it in struct slot.  Probably the
 | 
						|
  former.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
shpchp:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* There is only a single implementation of struct hpc_ops.  Can the struct be
 | 
						|
  removed and its functions invoked directly?  This has already been done in
 | 
						|
  pciehp with commit 82a9e79ef132 ("PCI: pciehp: remove hpc_ops").  Clarify
 | 
						|
  if there was a specific reason not to apply the same change to shpchp.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* The ->get_mode1_ECC_cap callback in shpchp_hpc_ops is never invoked.
 | 
						|
  Why was it introduced?  Can it be removed?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* The hardirq handler shpc_isr() queues events on a workqueue.  It can be
 | 
						|
  simplified by converting it to threaded IRQ handling.  Use pciehp as a
 | 
						|
  template.
