| Peter Tyser | 9bfa114 | 2009-01-30 16:36:40 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | The following is a list of files and features that are going to be |
| 2 | removed from the U-Boot source tree. Every entry should contain what |
| 3 | exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed, |
| Wolfgang Denk | 239862b | 2010-09-29 11:25:55 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 4 | and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed |
| Peter Tyser | 9bfa114 | 2009-01-30 16:36:40 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 5 | from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this |
| 6 | file. |

| Andy Fleming | 896a717 | 2011-10-31 09:46:13 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code |
| 11 | When: undetermined |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY |
| 14 | drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and |
| 15 | all old drivers should get converted to use it. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers |

| Mike Frysinger | a6dacda | 2011-10-01 10:15:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | What: boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile |
| 22 | When: Release v2012.03 |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Why: We have a boards.cfg file which the vast majority of boards have |
| 25 | converted over to. Boards that still manually run mkconfig in the |
| 26 | top level Makefile are either dead, or the maintainer doesn't care, |
| 27 | or they are doing something weird/wrong that should be fixed in a |
| 28 | different way, or they need to extend boards.cfg syntax (unlikely). |
| 29 | |
| 30 | In any case, if no one cares about these boards to figure out how |
| 31 | to make boards.cfg work, then we'll just punt them. |

| Wolfgang Denk | 636e95d | 2009-04-02 17:31:09 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 37 | What: GPL cleanup |
| 38 | When: August 2009 |
| 39 | Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot |
| 40 | source code that are either missing a valid GPL license |
| 41 | header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the |
| 42 | GPL. |
| 43 | Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree. |
| 44 | See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files |
| 45 | for an old and probably incomplete list of such files. |
