The following is a list of files and features that are going to be
|
|
removed from the U-Boot source tree. Every entry should contain what
|
|
exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed,
|
|
and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed
|
|
from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
What: "autoscr" command
|
|
When: August 2009
|
|
Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name. The "autoscr"
|
|
command is deprecated and will be replaced the "source" command as
|
|
used by other shells such as bash. Both commands will be supported
|
|
for a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
|
|
removed.

|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
What: GPL cleanup
|
|
When: August 2009
|
|
Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
|
|
source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
|
|
header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
|
|
GPL.
|
|
Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
|
|
See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
|
|
for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
|
|
|
|
Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
What: Individual I2C commands
|
|
When: April 2009
|
|
Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm",
|
|
"imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is
|
|
currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same
|
|
functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual
|
|
I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to
|
|
CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE.

|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
What: Legacy NAND code
|
|
When: April 2009
|
|
Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in
|
|
more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel.
