-What:  CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
-When:  Release 2009-11
-
-Why:   U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs.  New drivers with
-       the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and
-       this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment.
-
-       All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI
-       over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09).
-       In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI
-       is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI
-       will be removed, effectively making it the only API.  This should
-       provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
-       all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.

+What:  Remove unused CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START/END
+When:  Release v2013.10
+
+Why:   As the 'mtest' command is no longer default, a number of platforms
+       have not opted to turn the command back on and thus provide unused
+       defines (which are likely to be propogated to new platforms from
+       copy/paste).  Remove these defines when unused.

+
+---------------------------
+
+What:  Remove CONFIG_SYS_ENABLE_PADS_ALL and CONFIG_SYS_CLOCKS_ENABLE_ALL
+When:  Release v2013.07
+
+Why:   When set these options enable "all" of the pads and clocks found
+       on OMAP4/5 platforms, so that the Linux Kernel does not have to.
+       It has been agreed that this goes against the U-Boot design
+       philosophy and since f3f98bb0 we have not enabled more than is
+       used in U-Boot.  The kernel has been updating drivers to enable
+       rather than assume pads/clocks have been enabled already.  Our
+       expectation is that by v2013.07 a suitable kernel shall exist that
+       does not need these options set for a reasonable I/O set to function.

+
+---------------------------
+
+What:  Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
+When:  undetermined
+
+Why:   We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY
+       drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and
+       all old drivers should get converted to use it.
