---------------------------
+What: MXSER
+When: December 2007
+Why: Old mxser driver is obsoleted by the mxser_new. Give it some time yet
+ and remove it.
+Who: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
What: V4L2 VIDIOC_G_MPEGCOMP and VIDIOC_S_MPEGCOMP
When: October 2007
Why: Broken attempt to set MPEG compression parameters. These ioctls are
---------------------------
+What: old NCR53C9x driver
+When: October 2007
+Why: Replaced by the much better esp_scsi driver. Actual low-level
+ driver can ported over almost trivially.
+Who: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
+ Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
What: Video4Linux API 1 ioctls and video_decoder.h from Video devices.
When: December 2006
Why: V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to 2.6
---------------------------
-What: pci_module_init(driver)
-When: January 2007
-Why: Is replaced by pci_register_driver(pci_driver).
-Who: Richard Knutsson <ricknu-0@student.ltu.se> and Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
-
----------------------------
-
-What: Usage of invalid timevals in setitimer
-When: March 2007
-Why: POSIX requires to validate timevals in the setitimer call. This
- was never done by Linux. The invalid (e.g. negative timevals) were
- silently converted to more or less random timeouts and intervals.
- Until the removal a per boot limited number of warnings is printed
- and the timevals are sanitized.
-
-Who: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
-
----------------------------
-
What: Unused EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL exports
(temporary transition config option provided until then)
The transition config option will also be removed at the same time.
---------------------------
What: Interrupt only SA_* flags
-When: Januar 2007
+When: September 2007
Why: The interrupt related SA_* flags are replaced by IRQF_* to move them
out of the signal namespace.
---------------------------
-What: i2c_adapter.dev
- i2c_adapter.list
+What: i2c_adapter.list
When: July 2007
-Why: Superfluous, given i2c_adapter.class_dev:
- * The "dev" was a stand-in for the physical device node that legacy
- drivers would not have; but now it's almost always present. Any
- remaining legacy drivers must upgrade (they now trigger warnings).
- * The "list" duplicates class device children.
- The delay in removing this is so upgraded lm_sensors and libsensors
- can get deployed. (Removal causes minor changes in the sysfs layout,
- notably the location of the adapter type name and parenting the i2c
- client hardware directly from their controller.)
+Why: Superfluous, this list duplicates the one maintained by the driver
+ core.
Who: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>,
David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>
---------------------------
- What: i8xx_tco watchdog driver
- When: in 2.6.22
- Why: the i8xx_tco watchdog driver has been replaced by the iTCO_wdt
- watchdog driver.
- Who: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
-
- ---------------------------
-
What: Multipath cached routing support in ipv4
When: in 2.6.23
Why: Code was merged, then submitter immediately disappeared leaving
Who: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
---------------------------
+
+What: read_dev_chars(), read_conf_data{,_lpm}() (s390 common I/O layer)
+When: December 2007
+Why: These functions are a leftover from 2.4 times. They have several
+ problems:
+ - Duplication of checks that are done in the device driver's
+ interrupt handler
+ - common I/O layer can't do device specific error recovery
+ - device driver can't be notified for conditions happening during
+ execution of the function
+ Device drivers should issue the read device characteristics and read
+ configuration data ccws and do the appropriate error handling
+ themselves.
+Who: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: i2c-ixp2000, i2c-ixp4xx and scx200_i2c drivers
+When: September 2007
+Why: Obsolete. The new i2c-gpio driver replaces all hardware-specific
+ I2C-over-GPIO drivers.
+Who: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: drivers depending on OSS_OBSOLETE
+When: options in 2.6.23, code in 2.6.25
+Why: obsolete OSS drivers
+Who: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
