New drivers with - the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and - this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment. +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. - All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI - over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09). - In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI - is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI - will be removed, effectively making it the only API. This should - provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on - all architectures to be made to work with weak functions. - -Who: Ben Warren +Who: Tom Rini --------------------------- -What: "autoscr" command -When: Release 2009-09 - -Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name. - The "autoscr" command is deprecated and will be replaced by - - the "source" command as used by other shells such as bash. +What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code +When: undetermined - Starting with March 2009, both commands will be supported for - a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be - removed.

The single "i2c" command which is - currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same - functionality as the individual I2C commands.
