59What: old tuner-3036 i2c driver
60When: 2.6.28
61Why: This driver is for VERY old i2c-over-parallel port teletext receiver
62 boxes. Rather then spending effort on converting this driver to V4L2,
63 and since it is extremely unlikely that anyone still uses one of these
64 devices, it was decided to drop it.

70What: V4L2 dpc7146 driver
71When: 2.6.28
72Why: Old driver for the dpc7146 demonstration board that is no longer
73 relevant. The last time this was tested on actual hardware was
74 probably around 2002. Since this is a driver for a demonstration
75 board the decision was made to remove it rather than spending a
76 lot of effort continually updating this driver to stay in sync
77 with the latest internal V4L2 or I2C API.

271What: init_mm export
272When: 2.6.26
273Why: Not used in-tree. The current out-of-tree users used it to
274 work around problems in the CPA code which should be resolved
275 by now. One usecase was described to provide verification code
276 of the CPA operation. That's a good idea in general, but such
277 code / infrastructure should be in the kernel and not in some
278 out-of-tree driver.
