[media] se401: remove last V4L1 driver
This driver is for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer could find any hardware to buy. The V4L1 API is no longer supported, and since nobody stepped in to convert them to V4L2 the decision was made to remove them.

100What: Video4Linux obsolete drivers using V4L1 API
101When: kernel 2.6.39
102Files: drivers/staging/se401/* drivers/staging/usbvideo/*
103Check: drivers/staging/se401/se401.c drivers/staging/usbvideo/usbvideo.c
104Why: There are some drivers still using V4L1 API, despite all efforts we've done
105 to migrate. Those drivers are for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer
106 didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer
107 could find any hardware to buy. They probably have no practical usage today,
108 and people with such old hardware could probably keep using an older version
109 of the kernel. Those drivers will be moved to staging on 2.6.38 and, if nobody
110 cares enough to port and test them with V4L2 API, they'll be removed on 2.6.39.
