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 +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: "autoscr" command -When: August 2009 -Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name. The "autoscr" - command is deprecated and will be replaced the "source" command as - used by other shells such as bash. Both commands will be supported - for a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be - removed. -Who: Peter Tyser +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 and driver maintainers --------------------------- -What: Individual I2C commands -When: April 2009 -Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm", - "imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is - currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same - functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual - I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to - CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE. -Who: Peter Tyser +What: boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile +When: Release v2012.03 + +Why: We have a boards.cfg file which the vast majority of boards have + converted over to. Boards that still manually run mkconfig in the + top level Makefile are either dead, or the maintainer doesn't care, + or they are doing something weird/wrong that should be fixed in a + different way, or they need to extend boards.cfg syntax (unlikely). + + In any case, if no one cares about these boards to figure out how + to make boards.cfg work, then we'll just punt them. + +Who: Mike Frysinger --------------------------- -What: Legacy NAND code -When: April 2009 -Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in - more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel. -Who: Scott Wood +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 and board maintainers
