New drivers with + the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and + this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment. + + All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI + over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09). + In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI + is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI + will be removed, effectively making it the only API. This should + provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on + all architectures to be made to work with weak functions. + +Who: Ben Warren <biggerbadderben@gmail.com> + +--------------------------- + What: "autoscr" command When: Release 2009-09 -- GitLab
