Linus, please pull from the for-linus branch at

to receive the appended clarification (?) about the dv1394 driver and
ABI. It has been discussed on linux1394-devel and linux1394-user.
Or apply from this mail. Thanks.

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.

+Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+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)

- shift of application support has been indicated on www.linux1394.org
- and developers' mailinglists for quite some time. Major applications
