1*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhat:		dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
2*4882a593SmuzhiyunDate:		May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37

4*4882a593SmuzhiyunDescription:
5*4882a593Smuzhiyun	/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
6*4882a593Smuzhiyun	controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun	could be received by read() or transmitted by write().  A few
8*4882a593Smuzhiyun	ioctl()s allowed limited control.
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun	This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun	libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun	transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.
