Every entry should contain what +exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed, +and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed +from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this +file. + +--------------------------- + +What: Remove unused CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START/END +When: Release v2013.10 + +Why: As the 'mtest' command is no longer default, a number of platforms + have not opted to turn the command back on and thus provide unused + defines (which are likely to be propogated to new platforms from + copy/paste). Remove these defines when unused. + +Who: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com> + +--------------------------- + +What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code +When: undetermined + +Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY + drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and + all old drivers should get converted to use it. + +Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers + +--------------------------- + +What: GPL cleanup +When: August 2009 +Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot + source code that are either missing a valid GPL license + header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the + GPL. + Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree. + See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files + for an old and probably incomplete list of such files. + +Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers |
