Hello Wolfgang,
In message 1222883937-2640-1-git-send-email-ptyser@xes-inc.com you wrote:
If CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE is defined, individual i2c commands such as 'imd', 'imm', 'imw', etc should not be available as their functionality is duplicated in the 'i2c' command.
If I remember correctly, there has been discussion to keep both variants in parallel for some transition time.
I have added a link to your patch to the Feature Removal page at http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/TaskFeatureRemovalSchedule so we will not forget this as soon as e have a formal Feature Removal file in place.
Is this OK with you?
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."
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.
Best, Peter
