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, | |
| d483a22e | 4 | and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed |
| 5fc56b90 PT |
5 | from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this |
| 6 | file. | |

10 | What: Remove CONFIG_CMD_MEMTEST from default list |
| 11 | When: Release v2013.07 | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | Why: 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. | |

27 | What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code |
| 28 | When: undetermined | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | Why: 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 | ||
| 34 | Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers | |

38 | What: boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile |
| 39 | When: Release v2012.03 | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Why: 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. | |

54 | What: GPL cleanup |
| 55 | When: August 2009 | |
| 56 | Why: 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. | |
