When the feature is removed from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this file. --------------------------- -What: CONFIG_NET_MULTI option -When: Release 2009-11 +What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code +When: undetermined -Why: U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs. New drivers with - the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and - this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment. +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. - All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI - over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09). - In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI - is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI - will be removed, effectively making it the only API.
