2007-05-08Deprecate SA_xxx interrupt flags -V2Thomas Gleixner
The deprecation of the SA_xxx interrupt flags did not emit deprecated warnings. Andrew said about the removal of the deprecated flag defines: > This is going to break a lot of external stuff. We should have found > a way to make usage of SA_* emit deprecated warnings (or _some_ > warning) to warn people of impending doom. But I can't immediately > find a way of doing that. if we _can_ find a way of doing this, I > suspect we'll need to do it, and give people another six months. It's > going to get ugly out there. We shall see... Define the deprecated flags as a call to a __deprecated inline function so a warning is emitted on compile time. Extend the reprieve of out of tree drivers to 9/2007.

2007-05-04[S390] cio: Deprecate read_dev_chars() and read_conf_data{,_lpm}().Cornelia Huck
These helper functions are a leftover from 2.4 sync I/O and are a notorious source for bugs. They lead to device driver specific code creeping into cio, and some issues can't really be fixed at all. Device drivers can easily implement those functions themselves in a more robust manner, so let's get rid of them.

2007-05-01i2c: Kill i2c_adapter.class_devJean Delvare
Kill i2c_adapter.class_dev. Instead, set the class of i2c_adapter.dev to i2c_adapter_class, so that a symlink will be created for every i2c_adapter in /sys/class/i2c-adapter. The same change must be mirrored to i2c-isa as it duplicates some of the i2c-core functionalities. User-space tools and libraries might need some adjustments. In particular, libsensors from lm_sensors 2.10.3 or later is required for proper discovery of i2c adapter names after this change. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2007-03-05[PATCH] schedule wext/rtnl for removalJohannes Berg
Since wext is being replaced as fast as we can (it'll probably stick around for legacy drivers though) and the wext/netlink stuff was never really used, this schedules it for removal. The removal schedule is tight but there are no users of the code, the main user of the wext user interface are the wireless-tools, they only have an alpha version using the netlink interface and even that is incomplete.

2007-01-04i2c: Migration aids for i2c_adapter.dev removalDavid Brownell
Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this: - The class device gets the name attribute it should have had. This was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node. Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away. - Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to fix this problem earlier.
