59 | What: old tuner-3036 i2c driver | ||
60 | When: 2.6.28 | ||
61 | Why: 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. | ||

70 | What: V4L2 dpc7146 driver | ||
71 | When: 2.6.28 | ||
72 | Why: 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. | ||

271 | What: init_mm export | ||
272 | When: 2.6.26 | ||
273 | Why: 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. | ||
