These are definitions of deprecated interfaces.
We can remove it in 2.6.29.  If we don't want to be conservative, it
can be removed in 2.6.28, too.

Since it's an in-kernel API there's no reason to keep it once there are 
no users left.

Right.  But, IMO, now is no suitable time.
A thing like API removal should have been tested in linux-next, and we
had plenty of time indeed for 2.6.28.

But currently sound/soc/at32/playpaq_wm8510.c still seems to use it.

Yep, but don't be bothered to try to create a patch for that.
There will be a unification patch for both at32 and at91, so clean-ups
will be applied anyway later.


thanks,
