From c557289cb8ea063bd09db88f8a687a841556e291 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Buesch Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2008 18:26:39 +0100 Subject: b43: Change schedule for old-fw support removal The scheduled date for the removal of old fw support was in July 2008. However, we're not going to remove the support unless it causes a major headache. So change the schedule from "July 2008" to "when it causes headaches".

Why: The support code for the old firmware hurts code readability/maintainability and slightly hurts runtime performance. Bugfixes for the old firmware are not provided by Broadcom anymore. -- cgit v1.2.3
