  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: Remove unused CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START/END
  9. When: Release v2013.10
  10. Why: As the 'mtest' command is no longer default, a number of platforms
  11. have not opted to turn the command back on and thus provide unused
  12. defines (which are likely to be propagated to new platforms from
  13. copy/paste). Remove these defines when unused.
  14. Who: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com>
  15. ---------------------------
  16. What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
  17. When: undetermined
  18. Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY
  19. drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and
  20. all old drivers should get converted to use it.
  21. Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@gmail.com> and driver maintainers
  22. ---------------------------
  23. What: GPL cleanup
  24. When: August 2009
  25. Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
  26. source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
  27. header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
  28. GPL.
  29. Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
  30. See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
  31. for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
  32. Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers
