---------------------------
-What: boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile
-When: Release v2012.03
+What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
+When: undetermined
-Why: We have a boards.cfg file which the vast majority of boards have
- converted over to. Boards that still manually run mkconfig in the
- top level Makefile are either dead, or the maintainer doesn't care,
- or they are doing something weird/wrong that should be fixed in a
- different way, or they need to extend boards.cfg syntax (unlikely).
+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.
- In any case, if no one cares about these boards to figure out how
- to make boards.cfg work, then we'll just punt them.

-
-What: CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
-When: Release 2009-11
-
-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.
-
- 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. This should
- provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
- all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.
