1*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe following is a list of files and features that are going to be
2*4882a593Smuzhiyunremoved from the U-Boot source tree.  Every entry should contain what
3*4882a593Smuzhiyunexactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed,
4*4882a593Smuzhiyunand who is going to be doing the work.	When the feature is removed
5*4882a593Smuzhiyunfrom U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this
6*4882a593Smuzhiyunfile.

8*4882a593Smuzhiyun---------------------------
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun
10*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhat:	Remove unused CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START/END
11*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhen:	Release v2013.10
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun
13*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhy:	As the 'mtest' command is no longer default, a number of platforms
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun	have not opted to turn the command back on and thus provide unused
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun	defines (which are likely to be propagated to new platforms from
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun	copy/paste).  Remove these defines when unused.

19*4882a593Smuzhiyun
20*4882a593Smuzhiyun---------------------------
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun
22*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhat:	Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
23*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhen:	undetermined
24*4882a593Smuzhiyun
25*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhy:	We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY
26*4882a593Smuzhiyun	drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and
27*4882a593Smuzhiyun	all old drivers should get converted to use it.
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun
29*4882a593SmuzhiyunWho:	Andy Fleming <afleming@gmail.com> and driver maintainers

31*4882a593Smuzhiyun---------------------------
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun
33*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhat:	GPL cleanup
34*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhen:	August 2009
35*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhy:	Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
36*4882a593Smuzhiyun	source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
37*4882a593Smuzhiyun	header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
38*4882a593Smuzhiyun	GPL.
39*4882a593Smuzhiyun	Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
40*4882a593Smuzhiyun	See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
41*4882a593Smuzhiyun	for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
