+What: read_dev_chars(), read_conf_data{,_lpm}() (s390 common I/O layer)
+When: December 2007
+Why: These functions are a leftover from 2.4 times. They have several
+ problems:
+ - Duplication of checks that are done in the device driver's
+ interrupt handler
+ - common I/O layer can't do device specific error recovery
+ - device driver can't be notified for conditions happening during
+ execution of the function
+ Device drivers should issue the read device characteristics and read
+ configuration data ccws and do the appropriate error handling
+ themselves.

+ What: i2c-ixp2000, i2c-ixp4xx and scx200_i2c drivers
+ When: September 2007
+ Why: Obsolete. The new i2c-gpio driver replaces all hardware-specific
+ I2C-over-GPIO drivers.
