-
-What: print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
-When: October 2009
-Why: The %pF vsprintf format provides the same functionality in a
- simpler way. print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is deprecated but
- still present to give out-of-tree modules time to change.

- SCTP_GET_LOCAL_ADDRS_NUM_OLD, SCTP_GET_LOCAL_ADDRS_OLD
-When: June 2009
-Why: A newer version of the options have been introduced in 2005 that
- removes the limitions of the old API. The sctp library has been
- converted to use these new options at the same time. Any user
- space app that directly uses the old options should convert to using
- the new options.

+---------------------------
+What: Support for lcd_switch and display_get in asus-laptop driver
+When: March 2010
+Why: These two features use non-standard interfaces. There are the
+ only features that really need multiple path to guess what's
+ the right method name on a specific laptop.
+
+ Removing them will allow to remove a lot of code an significantly
+ clean the drivers.
+
+ This will affect the backlight code which won't be able to know
+ if the backlight is on or off. The platform display file will also be
+ write only (like the one in eeepc-laptop).
+
+ This should'nt affect a lot of user because they usually know
+ when their display is on or off.

+
+What: zc0301 v4l driver
+When: 2.6.35
+Files: drivers/media/video/zc0301/*
+Why: Duplicate functionality with the gspca_zc3xx driver, zc0301 only
+ supports 2 USB-ID's (because it only supports a limited set of
+ sensors) wich are also supported by the gspca_zc3xx driver
+ (which supports 53 USB-ID's in total)
