 * The legacy ARM 32-bit ATAGS mechanism is now disabled by default.
   It can be re-enabled using the newly added ``CONFIG_BOOT_ATAGS`` option.
   Use of ATAGS is deprecated. Users should migrate to OpenFirmware device trees.

+
+* barebox now warns at runtime about boards that disable the option
+  ``CONFIG_DEEP_PROBE_DEFAULT`` and list neither the ``barebox,deep-probe``
+  nor ``barebox,disable-deep-probe`` property in the top-level device tree node.
+  It's recommended that all boards switch to deep probe.
+  If deep probe breaks your platform, please report to the mailing list
+  and set ``barebox,disable-deep-probe`` in your device tree.
