ASOC deprecated warning

ASOC deprecated warning

[Jon Smirl]

What's the status of this?

 CC      sound/soc/soc-dapm.o
sound/soc/soc-dapm.c:1029: warning: 'snd_soc_dapm_connect_input' is
deprecated (declared at sound/soc/soc-dapm.c:1026)
sound/soc/soc-dapm.c:1029: warning: 'snd_soc_dapm_connect_input' is
deprecated (declared at sound/soc/soc-dapm.c:1026)

Could we have a Kconfig option of disabling deprecated APIs?
If I can get rid of this I'll have a warning free build.

The API is removed in ALSA git, you can cherry pick the patch over if
you want.  Otherwise I'd suggest taking it up with the people
maintaining the compiler infrastructure - there's no way to warn on use
of an API without also warning on the export of the API, which isn't
ideal.

sysfs has a config attribute for including legacy APIs. If it isn't
set they compile out.

The functions will be removed in 2.6.29.  No further work needed.

As I suggested, if you'd like to see a similar configuration option for
deprecated APIs the best people to take it up with would probably be the
people who maintain the compiler infrastructure which is used to
generate the deprecation warning so we can have something central for
this.
