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.

What:		dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)

Contact:	linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

Description:

	New application development should use raw1394 + userspace libraries

	instead, notably libiec61883 which is functionally equivalent.



Users:

	ffmpeg/libavformat (used by a variety of media players)

	dvgrab v1.x (replaced by dvgrab2 on top of raw1394 and resp. libraries)

What:	dv1394 driver (CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394)

When:	June 2007

Why:	Replaced by raw1394 + userspace libraries, notably libiec61883.  This

	shift of application support has been indicated on www.linux1394.org

	and developers' mailinglists for quite some time.  Major applications

	have been converted, with the exception of ffmpeg and hence xine.

	Piped output of dvgrab2 is a partial equivalent to dv1394.

What:	Video4Linux API 1 ioctls and video_decoder.h from Video devices.

When:	December 2006

Why:	V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to 2.6
