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: "autoscr" command
11When: August 2009
12Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name. The "autoscr"
13 command is deprecated and will be replaced the "source" command as
14 used by other shells such as bash. Both commands will be supported
15 for a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
16 removed.

21What: GPL cleanup
22When: August 2009
23Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
24 source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
25 header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
26 GPL.
27 Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
28 See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
29 for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.

35What: Individual I2C commands
36When: April 2009
37Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm",
38 "imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is
39 currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same
40 functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual
41 I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to
42 CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE.

47What: Legacy NAND code
48When: April 2009
49Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in
50 more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel.
