Why: Unsupported/unmaintained/unused since 2.6
----------------------------
+
+What: V4L2 selections API target rectangle and flags unification, the
+ following definitions will be removed: V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP_ACTIVE,
+ V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE_ACTIVE, V4L2_SUBDEV_SEL_*, V4L2_SUBDEV_SEL_FLAG_*
+ in favor of common V4L2_SEL_TGT_* and V4L2_SEL_FLAG_* definitions.
+ For more details see include/linux/v4l2-common.h.
+When: 3.8
+Why: The regular V4L2 selections and the subdev selection API originally
+ defined distinct names for the target rectangles and flags - V4L2_SEL_*
+ and V4L2_SUBDEV_SEL_*. Although, it turned out that the meaning of these
+ target rectangles is virtually identical and the APIs were consolidated
+ to use single set of names - V4L2_SEL_*. This didn't involve any ABI
+ changes. Alias definitions were created for the original ones to avoid
+ any instabilities in the user space interface. After few cycles these
+ backward compatibility definitions will be removed.
