I do not want to sound mean spirited, but one of the reasons why I am involved
in rewriting OpenChrome DDX is due to the fact that it is too buggy, and no one
was willing to fix it.
If you have looked at the all the commits I have done over the past 2 1/2
months, many of them are related to code clean up (especially after Version
0.4.0 release).
This happened because the code is in such a mess to the point where it is very
difficult to understand what the code is doing in many cases.
Maybe what I will say will hurt your feelings (again, I am not trying to sound
mean spirited), but many of the OpenChrome developers have no discipline as
device driver developers, and I am the only one cleaning up their mess.
I think I should be thanked for what I am doing.
I think I rightfully earned the right to criticize the past developers from
time to time especially if the code is egregiously bad, and this was such case.
I am not throwing out all the code, but there are portions that are really bad,
and anything related to standby resume is really bad.
My original reason for getting involved in this project is to fix my VIA
hardware laptop's standby resume.
If it was working so well, I probably would not have gotten involved in
rewriting OpenChrome.
Please note that I come from digital hardware design background (RTL coding
and verification), and I will like to believe that us hardware engineers take
functional correctness far more seriously than people who have never designed
hardware (i.e., software people).
While I do not claim to be perfect, I do take pride in the work I do as a
hardware guy.
