From: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> The existing U-Boot API is quite old and doesn't support driver model. Adding new functions is a manual process and no one has attempted this in the 10 years that driver model has been present. Undertaking such a task would be laborious and would require continued effort to maintain. A better approach would be to create a library containing all of U-Boot, then have the API be generated by a script from a list of functions. This would allow for a more flexible and maintainable interface. In preparation for this new direction, this series renames the existing API components to clearly mark them as legacy: - Rename api/ to legacy_api/ - Rename examples/api/ to examples/legacy_api/ - Rename include/api.h and include/api_public.h to include/legacy_api*.h - Rename API_BUILD to LEGACY_API_BUILD - Rename CONFIG_API to CONFIG_LEGACY_API - Rename api_init() to legacy_api_init() This provides a clean namespace for implementing the new library-based API approach while maintaining backward compatibility for existing users of the legacy interface. This series also sets a deadline for removal of the legacy API.
