The following PRs changed the API spec:

- Cloud provider config CloudProviderBackoffMode has been removed since it won't be used anymore. ([#88463](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88463), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer)) [SIG Cloud Provider]

### Other Deprecations
* Remove cmd/kube-discovery from the tree since it's not necessary anymore ([#42070](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42070), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

### Changed

- Fix handling of aws-load-balancer-security-groups annotation. Security-Groups assigned with this annotation are no longer modified by kubernetes which is the expected behaviour of most users. Also no unnecessary Security-Groups are created anymore if this annotation is used.
