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
+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: 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. 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.
