+What:  GPIO autorequest on gpio_direction_{input,output}() in gpiolib
+When:  February 2010
+Why:   All callers should use explicit gpio_request()/gpio_free().
+       The autorequest mechanism in gpiolib was provided mostly as a
+       migration aid for legacy GPIO interfaces (for SOC based GPIOs).
+       Those users have now largely migrated.  Platforms implementing
+       the GPIO interfaces without using gpiolib will see no changes.

 What:  b43 support for firmware revision < 410
 When:  The schedule was July 2008, but it was decided that we are going to keep the
         code as long as there are no major maintanance headaches.
