---------------------------
+What: CS5535/CS5536 obsolete GPIO driver
+When: June 2011
+Files: drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/*
+Check: drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/cs5535_gpio.c
+Why: A newer driver replaces this; it is drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c, and
+ integrates with the Linux GPIO subsystem. The old driver has been
+ moved to staging, and will be removed altogether around 2.6.40.
+ Please test the new driver, and ensure that the functionality you
+ need and any bugfixes from the old driver are available in the new
+ one.
+Who: Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net>
+
+--------------------------
+
What: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_thread)
When: August 2006
