2013-03-11Feature Removal: disable "mtest" command by defaultWolfgang Denk
The "mtest" command is of little practical use (if any), and experience has shown that a large number of board configurations define useless or even dangerous start and end addresses. If not even the board maintainers are able to figure out which memory range can be reliably tested, how can we expect such from the end users? As this problem comes up repeatedly, we rather do not enable this command by default, so only people who know what they are doing will be confronted with it. As this changes the user interface, we allow for a grace period before this change takes effect. For now, we make "mtest" configurable through the CONFIG_CMD_MEMTEST variable, which is defined in include/config_cmd_default.h; we also add an entry to doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt which announces the removal of this default setting in two releases from now, i. e. with v2013.07.

2011-12-05miiphy: Note that miiphy_* API is deprecatedAndy Fleming
We want to move everything to phylib, and we definitely don't want new drivers using the miiphy infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com>
2011-10-05net: drop !NET_MULTI codeMike Frysinger
This is long over due. All but two net drivers have been converted, but those have now been dropped. The only thing left to do is actually delete all references to NET_MULTI and code that is compiled when that is not defined. So here we scrub the core code.

2011-10-05mkconfig: start deprecating Makefile config targetsMike Frysinger
Now that we've got boards.cfg and most people have converted over, start warning people who have yet to so we can phase board configs completely out of the Makefile. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
2010-10-29Drop support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOCWolfgang Denk
When this define was introduced, the idea was to provide a soft migration path for ARM boards to get adapted to the new relocation support. However, other recent changes led to a different implementation (ELF relocation), where this no longer works. By now CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC does not only not help any more, but it actually hurts because it obfuscates the actual code by sprinkling it with lots of dead and non-working debris. So let's make a clean cut and drop CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> Tested-by: Heiko Schocher <hs@denx.de> Tested-by: Reinhard Meyer <u-boot@emk-elektronik.de>

2009-09-22Remove deprecated 'autoscr' command/variablesPeter Tyser
The more standard 'source' command provides identical functionality to the autoscr command. Environment variable names/values on the MVBC_P, MVBML7, kmeter1, mgcoge, and km8xx boards are updated to no longer refernce 'autoscr'. The 'autoscript' and 'autoscript_uname' environment variables are also removed.

2009-07-16Remove legacy NAND and disk on chip code.Scott Wood
Legacy NAND had been scheduled for removal. Any boards that use this were already not building in the previous release due to an #error. The disk on chip code in common/cmd_doc.c relies on legacy NAND, and it has also been removed. There is newer disk on chip code in drivers/mtd/nand; someone with access to hardware and sufficient time and motivation can try to get that working, but for now disk on chip is not supported.

2009-06-12i2c: Remove deprecated individual i2c commandsPeter Tyser
The following individual I2C commands have been removed: imd, imm, inm, imw, icrc32, iprobe, iloop, isdram. The functionality of the individual commands is still available via the 'i2c' command. This change only has an impact on those boards which did not have CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE defined. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>

2009-04-05Update CHANGELOG, coding style cleanup.Wolfgang Denk
2009-04-03Add "source" command; prepare removal of "autoscr" commandWolfgang Denk
According to the doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt, the "autoscr" command will be replaced by the "source" command in approximately 6 months from now. This patch prepares this change and starts a 6 month transition period as follows: - The new "source" command has been added, which implements exactly the same functionlaity as the old "autoscr" command before - The old "autoscr" command name is kept as an alias for compatibility - Command sequences, script files atc. have been adapted to use the new "source" command - Related environment variables ("autoscript", "autoscript_uname") have *not* been adapted yet; these will be renamed resp. removed in a separate patch when the support for the "autoscr" command get's finally dropped.
