524 | When: 2.6.35 | ||
525 | Files: drivers/input/keyboard/{corgi,spitz,tosa}kbd.c | ||
526 | Why: 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. | ||

536 | Files: arch/arm/mach-pxa/corgi_ssp.c, drivers/input/touchscreen/corgi_ts.c | ||
537 | Why: 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. | ||

572 | What: video4linux /dev/vtx teletext API support | ||
573 | When: 2.6.35 | ||
574 | Files: drivers/media/video/saa5246a.c drivers/media/video/saa5249.c | ||
575 | include/linux/videotext.h | ||
576 | Why: The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes | ||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. | ||
