Dear Peter,

According to the top-level README file since at least U-Boot v1.1.5: "CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE is a recommended option that places all I2C commands under a single 'i2c' root command. The older 'imm', 'imd', 'iprobe' etc. commands are considered deprecated and may disappear in the future."
Yes, I know. But then "may disappear in the future" is not really clear. We should set a specific date.
I personally think that the 2 year warning the README gave is sufficient but don't have a strong preference if this feature is removed now or at a later date. Either way, I think the task feature removal schedule in general is a great idea.
Fine. So let's add such a file for the next release. 6 more months will not really matter :-)
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
