302When: October 2009
303Why: The %pF vsprintf format provides the same functionality in a
304 simpler way. print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is deprecated but
305 still present to give out-of-tree modules time to change.

477What: Support for lcd_switch and display_get in asus-laptop driver
478When: March 2010
479Why: These two features use non-standard interfaces. There are the
480 only features that really need multiple path to guess what's
481 the right method name on a specific laptop.

483 Removing them will allow to remove a lot of code an significantly
484 clean the drivers.
485
486 This will affect the backlight code which won't be able to know
487 if the backlight is on or off. The platform display file will also be
488 write only (like the one in eeepc-laptop).
489
490 This should'nt affect a lot of user because they usually know
491 when their display is on or off.
