Subject: [PATCH] Add removal schedule of register_serial/unregister_serial to appropriate file
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 14:23:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050623142335.A5564@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> (raw)

I hope there's no need to explain this in the email; if there is, the
entry isn't good enough. 8)

However, wouldn't it be a good idea if this file was ordered by "when" ?
A quick scan of the file reveals a couple of overdue/forgotten items
(maybe they happened but the entry in the file got missed?):

What:   ACPI S4bios support
When:   May 2005

What:   register_ioctl32_conversion() / unregister_ioctl32_conversion()
When:   April 2005

 	more efficient.  You should really be using libraw1394 for raw1394

+What:	register_serial/unregister_serial
+When:	December 2005
+Why:	This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against
+	a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management
+	of such ports.  8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port
+	and serial8250_unregister_port instead.
