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

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

What: Unused EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL exports
(temporary transition config option provided until then)
The transition config option will also be removed at the same time.
eliminates the need for ide-scsi. The new method is more
efficient in every way.

+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.
