When: January 2007
Why: Is replaced by pci_register_driver(pci_driver).

+---------------------------
+
+What: I2C interface of the it87 driver
+When: January 2007
+Why: The ISA interface is faster and should be always available. The I2C
+ probing is also known to cause trouble in at least one case (see
+ bug #5889.)
+Who: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: mount/umount uevents
+When: February 2007
+Why: These events are not correct, and do not properly let userspace know
+ when a file system has been mounted or unmounted. Userspace should
+ poll the /proc/mounts file instead to detect this properly.
+Who: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

+
+What: Support for NEC DDB5074 and DDB5476 evaluation boards.
+When: June 2006
+Why: Board specific code doesn't build anymore since ~2.6.0 and no
+ users have complained indicating there is no more need for these
+ boards. This should really be considered a last call.
+Who: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

+
+What: USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
+When: Febuary 2008
+Files: include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c
+Why: The USB subsystem has changed a lot over time, and it has been
+ possible to create userspace USB drivers using usbfs/libusb/gadgetfs
+ that operate as fast as the USB bus allows. Because of this, the USB
+ subsystem will not be allowing closed source kernel drivers to
+ register with it, after this grace period is over. If anyone needs
+ any help in converting their closed source drivers over to use the
+ userspace filesystems, please contact the
+ linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list, and the developers
+ there will be glad to help you out.
