6U-Boot has been migrating to a new driver model since its introduction in
72014. This file describes the schedule for deprecation of pre-driver-model
8features.

13* Status: In progress
14* Deadline: 2020.01

16Starting with the 2010.01 release CONFIG_DM will be enabled for all boards.
17This does not concern CONFIG_DM_SPL and CONFIG_DM_TPL. The conversion date for
18these configuration items still needs to be defined.

26The subsystem itself has been converted and maintainers should submit patches
27switching over to using CONFIG_DM_MMC and other base driver model options in
28time for inclusion in the 2019.04 rerelease.

Tom Riniefacd9f2018-11-29 18:21:14 -050056In concert with maintainers migrating their block device usage to the
57appropriate DM driver, CONFIG_BLK needs to be set as well. The final deadline
58here coincides with the final deadline for migration of the various block
Tom Rini1794ae62018-12-05 08:23:38 -050059subsystems. At this point we will be able to audit and correct the logic in
Simon Glass3bf7d7a2022-08-11 19:34:48 -060060Kconfig around using CONFIG_PARTITIONS and CONFIG_SPL_LEGACY_BLOCK and make
Tom Rini1794ae62018-12-05 08:23:38 -050061use of CONFIG_BLK / CONFIG_SPL_BLK as needed.

106These are legacy options which have been replaced by driver model.
107Maintainers should submit patches switching over to using CONFIG_TIMER and
108other base driver model options in time for inclusion in the 2022.10 release.
109
110There is only one method to implement, unless you want to support bootstage,
111in which case you need an early timer also. For example drivers, see
112sandbox_timer.c and rockchip_timer.c
