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: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code 11When: undetermined 12 13Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY 14 drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and 15 all old drivers should get converted to use it. 16 17Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers 18 19--------------------------- 20 21What: boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile 22When: Release v2012.03 23 24Why: We have a boards.cfg file which the vast majority of boards have 25 converted over to. Boards that still manually run mkconfig in the 26 top level Makefile are either dead, or the maintainer doesn't care, 27 or they are doing something weird/wrong that should be fixed in a 28 different way, or they need to extend boards.cfg syntax (unlikely). 29 30 In any case, if no one cares about these boards to figure out how 31 to make boards.cfg work, then we'll just punt them. 32 33Who: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> 34 35--------------------------- 36 37What: GPL cleanup 38When: August 2009 39Why: 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 42 GPL. 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. 46 47Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers 48
