Just so that you guys know, that code *is* tested :-)
I'd suggest that the code removal be done leaving a comment in place, like this:
/* Currently, code to implement EV_SW SW_WLAN/WWAN/BLUETOOTH/etc is not
* in place since it was unused and was therefore removed. Please look
* at past history to check how it was supposed to be done, if you need
* to implement handling for EV_SW.
*/
Because that codepath is _not_ the most obvious thing in the world to
reimplement without hitting a pitfall, so people better look how it was done
once in time...
