521 | What: Support for driver specific ioctls in the pwc driver (everything | ||
522 | defined in media/pwc-ioctl.h) | ||

548 | Why: The pwc driver claims to support any resolution between 160x120 | ||
549 | and 640x480, but emulates this by simply drawing a black border | ||
550 | around the image. Userspace can draw its own black border if it | ||

585 | What: threeg and interface sysfs files in /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi | ||
586 | When: 2012 | ||
587 | Why: In 3.0, we can now autodetect internal 3G device and already have | ||
588 | the threeg rfkill device. So, we plan to remove threeg sysfs support | ||
589 | for it's no longer necessary. | ||

591 | We also plan to remove interface sysfs file that exposed which ACPI-WMI | ||
