281When: October 2009
282Why: 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.

456What: Support for lcd_switch and display_get in asus-laptop driver
457When: March 2010
458Why: 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.

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.
