When: January 2009 or Linux 2.7.0, whichever comes first
Why: Superseded by newer revisions or modules
Who: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@computergmbh.de>
---------------------------
-What: old style serial driver for ColdFire (CONFIG_SERIAL_COLDFIRE)
-When: 2.6.28

- by CONFIG_SERIAL_MCF.
-Who: Sebastian Siewior <sebastian@breakpoint.cc>
+What: remove HID compat support
+When: 2.6.29
+Why: needed only as a temporary solution until distros fix themselves up
+Who: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
+When: October 2009
+Why: The %pF vsprintf format provides the same functionality in a
+ simpler way. print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is deprecated but
+ still present to give out-of-tree modules time to change.
+Who: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
---------------------------
controlled by a kernel/module/sysfs/sysctl parameter.
Who: Krzysztof Piotr Oledzki <ole@ans.pl>
+---------------------------
+
+What: ide-scsi (BLK_DEV_IDESCSI)
+When: 2.6.29
+Why: The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide CD drives, which
+ eliminates the need for ide-scsi. The new method is more
+ efficient in every way.
+Who: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: i2c_attach_client(), i2c_detach_client(), i2c_driver->detach_client()
+When: 2.6.29 (ideally) or 2.6.30 (more likely)
+Why: Deprecated by the new (standard) device driver binding model. Use
+ i2c_driver->probe() and ->remove() instead.
