Check: drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/cs5535_gpio.c
Why: A newer driver replaces this; it is drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c, and
integrates with the Linux GPIO subsystem. The old driver has been
- moved to staging, and will be removed altogether around 2.6.40.
+ moved to staging, and will be removed altogether around 3.0.
Please test the new driver, and ensure that the functionality you
need and any bugfixes from the old driver are available in the new
one.
----------------------------
What: iwlwifi 50XX module parameters
-When: 2.6.40
+When: 3.0
Why: The "..50" modules parameters were used to configure 5000 series and
up devices; different set of module parameters also available for 4965
with same functionalities. Consolidate both set into single place
----------------------------
What: iwl4965 alias support
-When: 2.6.40
+When: 3.0
Why: Internal alias support has been present in module-init-tools for some
time, the MODULE_ALIAS("iwl4965") boilerplate aliases can be removed
with no impact.
----------------------------
What: iwlwifi disable_hw_scan module parameters
-When: 2.6.40
+When: 3.0
Why: Hareware scan is the prefer method for iwlwifi devices for
scanning operation. Remove software scan support for all the
iwlwifi devices.
What: access to nfsd auth cache through sys_nfsservctl or '.' files
in the 'nfsd' filesystem.
-When: 2.6.40
+When: 3.0
Why: This is a legacy interface which have been replaced by a more
dynamic cache. Continuing to maintain this interface is an
unnecessary burden.
----------------------------
What: noswapaccount kernel command line parameter
-When: 2.6.40
+When: 3.0
Why: The original implementation of memsw feature enabled by
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP could be disabled by the noswapaccount
kernel parameter (introduced in 2.6.29-rc1). Later on, this decision
----------------------------
What: Support for UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD in the uvcvideo driver
-When: 2.6.42
+When: 3.2
Why: The information passed to the driver by this ioctl is now queried
dynamically from the device.
Who: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
----------------------------
What: Support for UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP_OLD in the uvcvideo driver
-When: 2.6.42
+When: 3.2
Why: Used only by applications compiled against older driver versions.
Superseded by UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP which supports V4L2 menu controls.
Who: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
----------------------------
What: Support for UVCIOC_CTRL_GET and UVCIOC_CTRL_SET in the uvcvideo driver
-When: 2.6.42
+When: 3.2
Why: Superseded by the UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY ioctl.
