  1. The following is a list of files and features that are going to be
    2. 

  2. removed from the U-Boot source tree.  Every entry should contain what
    3. 

  3. exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed,
    4. 

  4. and who is going to be doing the work.  When the feature is removed
    5. 

  5. from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this
    6. 

  6. file.

  8. ---------------------------
    9. 

  9. 

  10. What:	CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
    11. 

  11. When:	Release 2009-11
    12. 

  12. 

  13. Why:	U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs.  New drivers with
    14. 

  14. 	the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and
    15. 

  15. 	this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment.
    16. 

  16. 

  17. 	All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI
    18. 

  18. 	over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09).
    19. 

  19. 	In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI
    20. 

  20. 	is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI
    21. 

  21. 	will be removed, effectively making it the only API.  This should
    22. 

  22. 	provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
    23. 

  23. 	all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.
    24.

  29. What:	GPL cleanup
    30. 

  30. When:	August 2009
    31. 

  31. Why:	Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
    32. 

  32. 	source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
    33. 

  33. 	header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
    34. 

  34. 	GPL.
    35. 

  35. 	Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
    36. 

  36. 	See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
    37. 

  37. 	for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
    38.

  39. Who:	Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers
