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

456 | What: Support for lcd_switch and display_get in asus-laptop driver | ||
457 | When: March 2010 | ||
458 | Why: These two features use non-standard interfaces. There are the | ||
459 | only features that really need multiple path to guess what's | ||
460 | the right method name on a specific laptop. | ||
461 | |||
462 | Removing them will allow to remove a lot of code an significantly | ||
463 | clean the drivers. | ||
464 | |||
465 | This will affect the backlight code which won't be able to know | ||
466 | if the backlight is on or off. The platform display file will also be | ||
467 | write only (like the one in eeepc-laptop). | ||
468 | |||
469 | This should'nt affect a lot of user because they usually know | ||
470 | when their display is on or off. | ||
