  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.

  8 +---------------------------
  9 +
  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.
  17 +Who: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
  18 +
  19 +---------------------------
  20 +
  21 +What: Individual I2C commands
  22 +When: April 2009
  23 +Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm",
  24 + "imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is
  25 + currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same
  26 + functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual
  27 + I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to
  28 + CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE.
  29 +Who: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
  30 +
  31 +---------------------------
  32 +
  33 +What: Legacy NAND code
  34 +When: April 2009
  35 +Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in
  36 + more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel.
