We plan to deprecate the CryptoCell-712 and CryptoCell-713 drivers in TF-A release v2.9 and eventually remove the code from the tree in release 3.0. The only upstream platforms which use these drivers today are the Arm Ltd developpment platforms, such as Juno. Write this information down into the "Release Processes" document.

Project Release Cadence
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The project currently aims to do a release once every 6 months which will be
|
|
tagged on the master branch. There will be a code freeze (stop merging
|
|
non-essential changes) up to 4 weeks prior to the target release date. The release
|
|
candidates will start appearing after this and only bug fixes or updates
|
|
required for the release will be merged. The maintainers are free to use their
|
|
judgement on what changes are essential for the release. A release branch may be
|
|
created after code freeze if there are significant changes that need merging onto
|
|
the integration branch during the merge window.
|
|
|
|
The release testing will be performed on release candidates and depending on
|
|
issues found, additional release candidates may be created to fix the issues.
