-What: IEEE1394 Audio and Music Data Transmission Protocol driver,
- Connection Management Procedures driver
-When: November 2005
-Files: drivers/ieee1394/{amdtp,cmp}*
-Why: These are incomplete, have never worked, and are better implemented
- in userland via raw1394 (see http://freebob.sourceforge.net/ for
- example.)

What: raw1394: requests of type RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN
When: November 2005
Why: Deprecated in favour of the new ioctl-based rawiso interface, which is
---------------------------
-What: i2c sysfs name change: in1_ref, vid deprecated in favour of cpu0_vid
-When: November 2005
-Files: drivers/i2c/chips/adm1025.c, drivers/i2c/chips/adm1026.c
-Why: Match the other drivers' name for the same function, duplicate names
- will be available until removal of old names.

+What: au1x00_uart driver
+When: January 2006
+Why: The 8250 serial driver now has the ability to deal with the differences
+ between the standard 8250 family of UARTs and their slightly strange
+ brother on Alchemy SOCs. The loss of features is not considered an
+ issue.
