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. 7 8--------------------------- 9 10What: Remove unused CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START/END 11When: Release v2013.10 12 13Why: As the 'mtest' command is no longer default, a number of platforms 14 have not opted to turn the command back on and thus provide unused 15 defines (which are likely to be propogated to new platforms from 16 copy/paste). Remove these defines when unused. 17 18Who: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com> 19 20--------------------------- 21 22What: Remove CONFIG_SYS_ENABLE_PADS_ALL and CONFIG_SYS_CLOCKS_ENABLE_ALL 23When: Release v2013.07 24 25Why: When set these options enable "all" of the pads and clocks found 26 on OMAP4/5 platforms, so that the Linux Kernel does not have to. 27 It has been agreed that this goes against the U-Boot design 28 philosophy and since f3f98bb0 we have not enabled more than is 29 used in U-Boot. The kernel has been updating drivers to enable 30 rather than assume pads/clocks have been enabled already. Our 31 expectation is that by v2013.07 a suitable kernel shall exist that 32 does not need these options set for a reasonable I/O set to function. 33 34Who: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com> and Sricharan R <r.sricharan@ti.com> 35 36--------------------------- 37 38What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code 39When: undetermined 40 41Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY 42 drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and 43 all old drivers should get converted to use it. 44 45Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers 46 47--------------------------- 48 49What: GPL cleanup 50When: August 2009 51Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot 52 source code that are either missing a valid GPL license 53 header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the 54 GPL. 55 Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree. 56 See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files 57 for an old and probably incomplete list of such files. 58 59Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers 60
