210What: i2c-ite and i2c-algo-ite drivers
211When: September 2006
212Why: These drivers never compiled since they were added to the kernel
213 tree 5 years ago. This feature removal can be reevaluated if
214 someone shows interest in the drivers, fixes them and takes over
215 maintenance.

254What: ACPI hooks (X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI) in speedstep-centrino driver
255When: December 2006
256Why: Speedstep-centrino driver with ACPI hooks and acpi-cpufreq driver are
257 functionally very much similar. They talk to ACPI in same way. Only
258 difference between them is the way they do frequency transitions.
259 One uses MSRs and the other one uses IO ports. Functionaliy of
260 speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks is now merged into acpi-cpufreq.
261 That means one common driver will support all Intel Enhanced Speedstep
262 capable CPUs. That means less confusion over name of
263 speedstep-centrino driver (with that driver supposed to be used on
264 non-centrino platforms). That means less duplication of code and
265 less maintenance effort and no possibility of these two drivers
266 going out of sync.
267 Current users of speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks are requested to
268 switch over to acpi-cpufreq driver. speedstep-centrino will continue
269 to work using older non-ACPI static table based scheme even after this
270 date.
