-What:  i2c_adapter.dev
-       i2c_adapter.list
+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.

+What:  i2c-ixp2000, i2c-ixp4xx and scx200_i2c drivers
+When:  September 2007
+Why:   Obsolete. The new i2c-gpio driver replaces all hardware-specific
+       I2C-over-GPIO drivers.
