111What: Video4Linux obsolete drivers using V4L1 API
112When: kernel 2.6.39
113Files: drivers/staging/se401/* drivers/staging/usbvideo/*
114Check: drivers/staging/se401/se401.c drivers/staging/usbvideo/usbvideo.c
115Why: There are some drivers still using V4L1 API, despite all efforts we've done
116 to migrate. Those drivers are for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer
117 didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer
118 could find any hardware to buy. They probably have no practical usage today,
119 and people with such old hardware could probably keep using an older version
120 of the kernel. Those drivers will be moved to staging on 2.6.38 and, if nobody
121 cares enough to port and test them with V4L2 API, they'll be removed on 2.6.39.

126What: Video4Linux: Remove obsolete ioctl's
127When: kernel 2.6.39
128Files: include/media/videodev2.h
129Why: Some ioctl's were defined wrong on 2.6.2 and 2.6.6, using the wrong
130 type of R/W arguments. They were fixed, but the old ioctl names are
131 still there, maintained to avoid breaking binary compatibility:
132 #define VIDIOC_OVERLAY_OLD _IOWR('V', 14, int)
133 #define VIDIOC_S_PARM_OLD _IOW('V', 22, struct v4l2_streamparm)
134 #define VIDIOC_S_CTRL_OLD _IOW('V', 28, struct v4l2_control)
135 #define VIDIOC_G_AUDIO_OLD _IOWR('V', 33, struct v4l2_audio)
136 #define VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT_OLD _IOWR('V', 49, struct v4l2_audioout)
137 #define VIDIOC_CROPCAP_OLD _IOR('V', 58, struct v4l2_cropcap)
138 There's no sense on preserving those forever, as it is very doubtful
139 that someone would try to use a such old binary with a modern kernel.
140 Removing them will allow us to remove some magic done at the V4L ioctl
141 handler.
