Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] staging: vc04_services: Cleanup VCHIQ TODO entries

Raspberry Pi downstream drivers using VCHIQ have changed a lot since
kernel version 4.4 mentioned in the TODO, and are tangential to the
destaing process - so drop those items from the list.

Secondly, the code indentation for the vchiq interface driver is not so
bad anymore since Umang's series (linked below) got merged, so drop it
from the TODO.

-* Import drivers using VCHI.
-
-VCHI is just a tool to let drivers talk to the firmware.  Here are
-some of the ones we want:
-
-  - vc_mem (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-4.4.y/drivers/char/broadcom/vc_mem.c)
-
-  This driver is what the vcdbg userspace program uses to set up its
-  requests to the firmware, which are transmitted across VCHIQ.  vcdbg
-  is really useful for debugging firmware interactions.
-
-  - VCSM (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-4.4.y/drivers/char/broadcom/vc_sm)
-
-  This driver is used for talking about regions of VC memory across
-  firmware protocols including VCHI.  We'll want to extend this driver
-  to manage these buffers as dmabufs so that we can zero-copy import
-  camera images into vc4 for rendering/display.
-
 * Documentation
 
 A short top-down description of this driver's architecture (function of
 kthreads, userspace, limitations) could be very helpful for reviewers.
-
-* Reformat core code with more sane indentations
-
-The code follows the 80 characters limitation yet tends to go 3 or 4 levels of
-indentation deep making it very unpleasant to read. This is specially relevant
-in the character driver ioctl code and in the core thread functions.
