ieee1394: change deprecation status of dv1394
Nobody ported ffmpeg from dv1394 to rawiso yet, and there is no justification to remove dv1394 right now. Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense, especially as Kristian H's drivers shape up to be an attractive alternative to the existing ones. But we don't have a schedule at the moment. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

1What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
2Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
3Description:
4 New application development should use raw1394 + userspace libraries
5 instead, notably libiec61883 which is functionally equivalent.

42What: dv1394 driver (CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394)
43When: June 2007
44Why: Replaced by raw1394 + userspace libraries, notably libiec61883. This
45 shift of application support has been indicated on www.linux1394.org
46 and developers' mailinglists for quite some time. Major applications
47 have been converted, with the exception of ffmpeg and hence xine.
48 Piped output of dvgrab2 is a partial equivalent to dv1394.
