doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt

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

  10 What:   "autoscr" command
  11 When:   August 2009
  12 Why:    "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.

  21 What:   GPL cleanup
  22 When:   August 2009
  23 Why:    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.

  31 Who:    Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers

  35 What:   Individual I2C commands
  36 When:   April 2009
  37 Why:    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.

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