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. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

+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.
