[U-Boot] [PATCH] Add feature-removal-schedule.txt

[Detlev Zundel <dzu@denx.de>]

Hi Peter,

>> +What:	Individual I2C commands
>> +When:	April 2009
>> +Why:	Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm",
>> +	"imw", etc are deprecated.  The single "i2c" command which is
>> +	currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same
>> +	functionality as the individual I2C commands.  The individual
>> +	I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to
>> +	CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE.

I vote for doing the transition in one step.  It's simply not worth too
much effort in my eyes.  We have other areas needing more attention ;)

Cheers
