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 +from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this +file. + +--------------------------- + +What: "autoscr" command +When: August 2009 +Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name. The "autoscr" + command is deprecated and will be replaced the "source" command as + used by other shells such as bash. Both commands will be supported + for a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be + removed. +Who: Peter Tyser ptyser@xes-inc.com + +--------------------------- + +What: Individual I2C commands +When: April 2009 +Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm", + "imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is + currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same + functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual + I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to + CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE. +Who: Peter Tyser ptyser@xes-inc.com + +--------------------------- + +What: Legacy NAND code +When: April 2009 +Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in + more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel. +Who: Scott Wood scottwood@freescale.com
