301Why: This option was introduced just to allow older lm-sensors userspace
302 to keep working over the upgrade to 2.6.26. At the scheduled time of
303 removal fixed lm-sensors (2.x or 3.x) should be readily available.

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

547When: 3.3
548Why: 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
551 really wants one.

586When: 2012
587Why: 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.
