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
8 ---------------------------
10 What: Remove CONFIG_SYS_ENABLE_PADS_ALL and CONFIG_SYS_CLOCKS_ENABLE_ALL
11 When: Release v2013.07
13 Why: When set these options enable "all" of the pads and clocks found
14 on OMAP4/5 platforms, so that the Linux Kernel does not have to.
15 It has been agreed that this goes against the U-Boot design
16 philosophy and since f3f98bb0 we have not enabled more than is
17 used in U-Boot. The kernel has been updating drivers to enable
18 rather than assume pads/clocks have been enabled already. Our
19 expectation is that by v2013.07 a suitable kernel shall exist that
20 does not need these options set for a reasonable I/O set to function.
22 Who: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com> and Sricharan R <r.sricharan@ti.com>
24 ---------------------------
26 What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
29 Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY
30 drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and
31 all old drivers should get converted to use it.
33 Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers
35 ---------------------------
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
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.
47 Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers
