  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,
  4. and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed
  5. from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this
  6. file.
  7. ---------------------------
  8. What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
  9. When: undetermined
  10. Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY
  11. drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and
  12. all old drivers should get converted to use it.
  13. Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers
  14. ---------------------------
  15. What: boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile
  16. When: Release v2012.03
  17. Why: We have a boards.cfg file which the vast majority of boards have
  18. converted over to. Boards that still manually run mkconfig in the
  19. top level Makefile are either dead, or the maintainer doesn't care,
  20. or they are doing something weird/wrong that should be fixed in a
  21. different way, or they need to extend boards.cfg syntax (unlikely).
  22. In any case, if no one cares about these boards to figure out how
  23. to make boards.cfg work, then we'll just punt them.
  24. Who: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
  25. ---------------------------
  26. What: GPL cleanup
  27. When: August 2009
  28. Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
  29. source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
  30. header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
  31. GPL.
  32. Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
  33. See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
  34. for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
  35. Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers
