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: Remove CONFIG_CMD_MEMTEST from default list
|
|
When: Release v2013.07
|
|
|
|
Why: The "mtest" command is of little practical use (if any), and
|
|
experience has shown that a large number of board configu-
|
|
rations define useless or even dangerous start and end
|
|
addresses. If not even the board maintainers are able to
|
|
figure out which memory range can be reliably tested, how can
|
|
we expect such from the end users? As this problem comes up
|
|
repeatedly, we rather do not enable this command by default,
|
|
so only people who know what they are doing will be confronted
|
|
with it.
|
|
|
|
Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
What: Remove CONFIG_SYS_ENABLE_PADS_ALL and CONFIG_SYS_CLOCKS_ENABLE_ALL
|
|
When: Release v2013.07
|
|
|
|
Why: When set these options enable "all" of the pads and clocks found
|
|
on OMAP4/5 platforms, so that the Linux Kernel does not have to.
|
|
It has been agreed that this goes against the U-Boot design
|
|
philosophy and since f3f98bb0 we have not enabled more than is
|
|
used in U-Boot. The kernel has been updating drivers to enable
|
|
rather than assume pads/clocks have been enabled already. Our
|
|
expectation is that by v2013.07 a suitable kernel shall exist that
|
|
does not need these options set for a reasonable I/O set to function.
|
|
|
|
Who: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com> and Sricharan R <r.sricharan@ti.com>
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
|
|
When: undetermined
|
|
|
|
Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY
|
|
drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and
|
|
all old drivers should get converted to use it.
|
|
|
|
Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
