-What: i2c_adapter.dev

+What: i2c_adapter.list
When: July 2007
-Why: Superfluous, given i2c_adapter.class_dev:
- * The "dev" was a stand-in for the physical device node that legacy
- drivers would not have; but now it's almost always present. Any
- remaining legacy drivers must upgrade (they now trigger warnings).
- * The "list" duplicates class device children.
- The delay in removing this is so upgraded lm_sensors and libsensors
- can get deployed. (Removal causes minor changes in the sysfs layout,
- notably the location of the adapter type name and parenting the i2c
- client hardware directly from their controller.)
+Why: Superfluous, this list duplicates the one maintained by the driver
+ core.

+What: read_dev_chars(), read_conf_data{,_lpm}() (s390 common I/O layer)
+When: December 2007
+Why: These functions are a leftover from 2.4 times. They have several
+ problems:
+ - Duplication of checks that are done in the device driver's
+ interrupt handler
+ - common I/O layer can't do device specific error recovery
+ - device driver can't be notified for conditions happening during
+ execution of the function
+ Device drivers should issue the read device characteristics and read
+ configuration data ccws and do the appropriate error handling
+ themselves.
