Subject: [PATCH] Schedule removal of the legacy i2c device driver binding model
Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 14:35:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081018143503.01af9fce@hyperion.delvare> (raw)
The legacy i2c device driver binding model is superseded by the
standard model, so it's time to deprecate it and schedule it for
removal.
