1The following is a list of files and features that are going to be
2removed from the U-Boot source tree.  Every entry should contain what
3exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed,
4and who is going to be doing the work.	When the feature is removed
5from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this
6file.

10What:	Remove CONFIG_CMD_MEMTEST from default list
11When:	Release v2013.07
12
13Why:	The "mtest" command is of little practical use (if any), and
14	experience has shown that a large number of board configu-
15	rations define useless or even dangerous start and end
16	addresses.  If not even the board maintainers are able to
17	figure out which memory range can be reliably tested, how can
18	we expect such from the end users?  As this problem comes up
19	repeatedly, we rather do not enable this command by default,
20	so only people who know what they are doing will be confronted
21	with it.

25---------------------------
26
27What:	Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
28When:	undetermined
29
30Why:	We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY
31	drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and
32	all old drivers should get converted to use it.
33
34Who:	Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers
35
36---------------------------
37
38What:	boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile
39When:	Release v2012.03
40
41Why:	We have a boards.cfg file which the vast majority of boards have
42	converted over to.  Boards that still manually run mkconfig in the
43	top level Makefile are either dead, or the maintainer doesn't care,
44	or they are doing something weird/wrong that should be fixed in a
45	different way, or they need to extend boards.cfg syntax (unlikely).
46
47	In any case, if no one cares about these boards to figure out how
48	to make boards.cfg work, then we'll just punt them.

50Who:	Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
51
52---------------------------
53
54What:	GPL cleanup
55When:	August 2009
56Why:	Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
57	source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
58	header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
59	GPL.
60	Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
61	See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
62	for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
