---------------------------
+What: /sys/devices/.../power/state
+ dev->power.power_state
+ dpm_runtime_{suspend,resume)()
+When: July 2007
+Why: Broken design for runtime control over driver power states, confusing
+ driver-internal runtime power management with: mechanisms to support
+ system-wide sleep state transitions; event codes that distinguish
+ different phases of swsusp "sleep" transitions; and userspace policy
+ inputs. This framework was never widely used, and most attempts to
+ use it were broken. Drivers should instead be exposing domain-specific
+ interfaces either to kernel or to userspace.
+Who: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz>
+
+---------------------------
+
What: RAW driver (CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER)
When: December 2005
Why: declared obsolete since kernel 2.6.3
---------------------------
- What: sbp2: module parameter "force_inquiry_hack"
- When: July 2006
- Why: Superceded by parameter "workarounds". Both parameters are meant to be
- used ad-hoc and for single devices only, i.e. not in modprobe.conf,
- therefore the impact of this feature replacement should be low.
- Who: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
-
- ---------------------------
-
What: Video4Linux API 1 ioctls and video_decoder.h from Video devices.
When: July 2006
Why: V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to 2.6
---------------------------
+What: sys_sysctl
+When: January 2007
+Why: The same information is available through /proc/sys and that is the
+ interface user space prefers to use. And there do not appear to be
+ any existing user in user space of sys_sysctl. The additional
+ maintenance overhead of keeping a set of binary names gets
+ in the way of doing a good job of maintaining this interface.
+
+Who: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
What: PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl])
When: November 2005
Files: drivers/pcmcia/: pcmcia_ioctl.c
---------------------------
-What: Support for the MIPS EV96100 evaluation board
-When: September 2006
-Why: Does no longer build since at least November 15, 2003, apparently
- no userbase left.
-Who: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
-
----------------------------
-
What: Support for the Momentum / PMC-Sierra Jaguar ATX evaluation board
When: September 2006
Why: Does no longer build since quite some time, and was never popular,
It is not clear if anyone is still using it.
Who: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>
+---------------------------
+
+
+What: PHYSDEVPATH, PHYSDEVBUS, PHYSDEVDRIVER in the uevent environment
+When: Oktober 2008
+Why: The stacking of class devices makes these values misleading and
+ inconsistent.
+ Class devices should not carry any of these properties, and bus
+ devices have SUBSYTEM and DRIVER as a replacement.
+Who: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: i2c-isa
+When: December 2006
+Why: i2c-isa is a non-sense and doesn't fit in the device driver
+ model. Drivers relying on it are better implemented as platform
+ drivers.
+Who: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
