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 unused CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START/END |
| 11 | When: Release v2013.10 | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | Why: As the 'mtest' command is no longer default, a number of platforms | |
| 14 | have not opted to turn the command back on and thus provide unused | |
| 15 | defines (which are likely to be propogated to new platforms from | |
| 16 | copy/paste). Remove these defines when unused. | |

22 | What: Remove CONFIG_SYS_ENABLE_PADS_ALL and CONFIG_SYS_CLOCKS_ENABLE_ALL |
| 23 | When: Release v2013.07 | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Why: When set these options enable "all" of the pads and clocks found | |
| 26 | on OMAP4/5 platforms, so that the Linux Kernel does not have to. | |
| 27 | It has been agreed that this goes against the U-Boot design | |
| 28 | philosophy and since f3f98bb0 we have not enabled more than is | |
| 29 | used in U-Boot. The kernel has been updating drivers to enable | |
| 30 | rather than assume pads/clocks have been enabled already. Our | |
| 31 | expectation is that by v2013.07 a suitable kernel shall exist that | |
| 32 | does not need these options set for a reasonable I/O set to function. | |

38 | What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code |
| 39 | When: undetermined | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY | |
| 42 | drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and | |
| 43 | all old drivers should get converted to use it. | |

49 | What: GPL cleanup |
| 50 | When: August 2009 | |
| 51 | Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot | |
| 52 | source code that are either missing a valid GPL license | |
| 53 | header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the | |
| 54 | GPL. | |
| 55 | Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree. | |
| 56 | See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files | |
| 57 | for an old and probably incomplete list of such files. | |
