-What: RAW driver (CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER)
-When: December 2005
-Why: declared obsolete since kernel 2.6.3
- O_DIRECT can be used instead
-Who: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
-
----------------------------
-
-What: raw1394: requests of type RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN
-When: June 2007
-Why: Deprecated in favour of the more efficient and robust rawiso interface.
- Affected are applications which use the deprecated part of libraw1394
- (raw1394_iso_write, raw1394_start_iso_write, raw1394_start_iso_rcv,
- raw1394_stop_iso_rcv) or bypass libraw1394.

-
-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: ieee1394 core's unused exports (CONFIG_IEEE1394_EXPORT_FULL_API)
-When: January 2007
-Why: There are no projects known to use these exported symbols, except
- dfg1394 (uses one symbol whose functionality is core-internal now).

-What: ieee1394's *_oui sysfs attributes (CONFIG_IEEE1394_OUI_DB)
-When: January 2007
-Files: drivers/ieee1394/: oui.db, oui2c.sh
-Why: big size, little value
