-What:  Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
-When:  undetermined
+What:  Remove unused CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START/END
+When:  Release v2013.10
 
-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.
+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:  boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile
-When:  Release v2012.03
+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.

-Why:   We have a boards.cfg file which the vast majority of boards have
-       converted over to.  Boards that still manually run mkconfig in the
-       top level Makefile are either dead, or the maintainer doesn't care,
-       or they are doing something weird/wrong that should be fixed in a
-       different way, or they need to extend boards.cfg syntax (unlikely).
+---------------------------
+
+What:  Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
+When:  undetermined
 
-       In any case, if no one cares about these boards to figure out how
-       to make boards.cfg work, then we'll just punt them.
+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.
