From 3c8c21e63a44de815e924b1605ee8351c5703d0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2012 14:51:24 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] staging/fwserial: Update TODO file per reviewer comments Pursuant to this review https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/500 by Stefan Richter, update the TODO file. - Clarify purpose of TODO file - Remove firewire item #4. As discussed in this conversation https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/13/564 knowing the AR buffer size is not a hard requirement. The required rx buffer size can be determined experimentally. - Remove firewire item #5. This was a private note for further experimentation. - Change firewire item #1. Change suggested header from uapi header to kernel-only header.
