The legacy i2c device driver binding model is superseded by the
standard model, so it's time to deprecate it and schedule it for
removal.

@ -359,3 +359,11 @@ Why: The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide CD drives, which
eliminates the need for ide-scsi. The new method is more
efficient in every way.
Who: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp>
---------------------------
What: i2c_attach_client(), i2c_detach_client(), i2c_driver->detach_client()
When: 2.6.29 (ideally) or 2.6.30 (more likely)
Why: Deprecated by the new (standard) device driver binding model. Use
i2c_driver->probe() and ->remove() instead.
