| The following is a list of files and features that are going to be |
| removed from the U-Boot source tree. 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: Remove CONFIG_SYS_ENABLE_PADS_ALL and CONFIG_SYS_CLOCKS_ENABLE_ALL |
| When: Release v2013.07 |
| |
| Why: When set these options enable "all" of the pads and clocks found |
| on OMAP4/5 platforms, so that the Linux Kernel does not have to. |
| It has been agreed that this goes against the U-Boot design |
| philosophy and since f3f98bb0 we have not enabled more than is |
| used in U-Boot. The kernel has been updating drivers to enable |
| rather than assume pads/clocks have been enabled already. Our |
| expectation is that by v2013.07 a suitable kernel shall exist that |
| does not need these options set for a reasonable I/O set to function. |
| |
| Who: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com> and Sricharan R <r.sricharan@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. |
