  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@gmail.com> and driver maintainers
  14. ---------------------------
  15. What: GPL cleanup
  16. When: August 2009
  17. Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
  18. source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
  19. header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
  20. GPL.
  21. Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
  22. See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
  23. for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
  24. Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers
