523What: corgikbd, spitzkbd, tosakbd driver
524When: 2.6.35
525Files: drivers/input/keyboard/{corgi,spitz,tosa}kbd.c
526Why: We now have a generic GPIO based matrix keyboard driver that
527 are fully capable of handling all the keys on these devices.
528 The original drivers manipulate the GPIO registers directly
529 and so are difficult to maintain.

535When: 2.6.35
536Files: arch/arm/mach-pxa/corgi_ssp.c, drivers/input/touchscreen/corgi_ts.c
537Why: The corgi touchscreen is now deprecated in favour of the generic
538 ads7846.c driver. The noise reduction technique used in corgi_ts.c,
539 that's to wait till vsync before ADC sampling, is also integrated into
540 ads7846 driver now. Provided that the original driver is not generic
541 and is difficult to maintain, it will be removed later.

572What: video4linux /dev/vtx teletext API support
573When: 2.6.35
574Files: drivers/media/video/saa5246a.c drivers/media/video/saa5249.c
575 include/linux/videotext.h
576Why: The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes
577 for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support.
578 Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249
579 has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware
580 that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically
581 supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked.
582
583 In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there
584 are no applications actually implementing this API.
585
586 The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really
587 like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely
588 event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality
589 provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build
590 around the sliced VBI API instead.
