+Introduction
+============
+
+These drivers add support for IndustryPack devices: carrier and mezzanine
+boards.
+
+The ipack driver is just an abstraction of the bus providing the common
+operations between the two kind of boards.
+
+TODO
+====
+
+TPCI-200
+--------
+
+* It receives the name of the mezzanine plugged in each slot by SYSFS.
+ No autodetection supported yet, because the mezzanine driver could not be
+ loaded at the time that the tpci200 driver loads.
+
+* It has a linked list with the tpci200 devices it is managing. Get rid of it
+ and use driver_for_each_device() instead.
+
+IP-OCTAL
+--------
+
+* It has a linked list which saves the devices it is currently
+ managing. It should use the driver_for_each_device() function. It is not there
+ due to the impossibility of using container_of macro to recover the
+ corresponding "struct ipoctal" because the attribute "struct ipack_device" is
+ a pointer. This code should be refactored.
+
+Ipack
+-----
+
+* The structures and API exported can be improved a lot. For example, the
+ way to unregistering mezzanine devices, doing the mezzanine driver a call to
+ remove_device() to notify the carrier driver, or the opposite with the call to
+ the ipack_driver_ops' remove() function could be improved.
