Merge branch 'ieee1394-removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6
* 'ieee1394-removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6: ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stack ieee1394: move init_ohci1394_dma to drivers/firewire/ Fix trivial change/delete conflict: drivers/ieee1394/eth1394.c is getting removed, but was modified by the networking merge.

1What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
2Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
3Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
4Description:
5 /dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
6 controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
7 could be received by read() or transmitted by write(). A few
8 ioctl()s allowed limited control.
9 This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
10 libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
11 transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.

1What: raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire)
2Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
3Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
4Description:
5 /dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
6 access to FireWire buses. Its major drawbacks were its inability
7 to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
8 of abstraction that required userspace clients do duplicate much
9 of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
10 Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
11 firewire-core.

1What: legacy isochronous ABI of raw1394 (1st generation iso ABI)
2Date: June 2007 (scheduled), removed in kernel v2.6.23
3Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
4Description:
5 The two request types RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN have
6 been deprecated for quite some time. They are very inefficient as they
7 come with high interrupt load and several layers of callbacks for each
8 packet. Because of these deficiencies, the video1394 and dv1394 drivers
9 and the 3rd-generation isochronous ABI in raw1394 (rawiso) were created.

12 libraw1394 users via the long deprecated API raw1394_iso_write,
13 raw1394_start_iso_write, raw1394_start_iso_rcv, raw1394_stop_iso_rcv
14
15 libdc1394, which optionally uses these old libraw1394 calls
16 alternatively to the more efficient video1394 ABI

1What: video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video support" for FireWire)
2Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
3Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
4Description:
5 /dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
6 controller, which were used for isochronous I/O. It was added as an
7 alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had
8 performance issues in its first generation. Any video1394 user had
9 to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide
10 asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration.
11 Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
12 firewire-core.
