41 | What: old tuner-3036 i2c driver | ||
42 | When: 2.6.28 | ||
43 | Why: This driver is for VERY old i2c-over-parallel port teletext receiver | ||
44 | boxes. Rather then spending effort on converting this driver to V4L2, | ||
45 | and since it is extremely unlikely that anyone still uses one of these | ||
46 | devices, it was decided to drop it. | ||

52 | What: V4L2 dpc7146 driver | ||
53 | When: 2.6.28 | ||
54 | Why: Old driver for the dpc7146 demonstration board that is no longer | ||
55 | relevant. The last time this was tested on actual hardware was | ||
56 | probably around 2002. Since this is a driver for a demonstration | ||
57 | board the decision was made to remove it rather than spending a | ||
58 | lot of effort continually updating this driver to stay in sync | ||
59 | with the latest internal V4L2 or I2C API. | ||

141 | What: find_task_by_pid | ||
142 | When: 2.6.26 | ||
143 | Why: With pid namespaces, calling this funciton will return the | ||
144 | wrong task when called from inside a namespace. | ||
145 | |||
146 | The best way to save a task pid and find a task by this | ||
147 | pid later, is to find this task's struct pid pointer (or get | ||
148 | it directly from the task) and call pid_task() later. | ||
149 | |||
150 | If someone really needs to get a task by its pid_t, then | ||
151 | he most likely needs the find_task_by_vpid() to get the | ||
152 | task from the same namespace as the current task is in, but | ||
153 | this may be not so in general. | ||

202 | What: The arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc directories | ||
203 | When: Jun 2008 | ||
204 | Why: The arch/powerpc tree is the merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64 | ||
205 | platforms. Currently there are efforts underway to port the remaining | ||
206 | arch/ppc platforms to the merged tree. New submissions to the arch/ppc | ||
207 | tree have been frozen with the 2.6.22 kernel release and that tree will | ||
208 | remain in bug-fix only mode until its scheduled removal. Platforms | ||
209 | that are not ported by June 2008 will be removed due to the lack of an | ||
210 | interested maintainer. | ||
