Documentation/ABI/removed/video1394

   1 What:           video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video support" for FireWire)
   2 Date:           May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
   3 Contact:        linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
   4 Description:
   5         /dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
   6         controller, which were used for isochronous I/O.  It was added as an
   7         alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had
   8         performance issues in its first generation.  Any video1394 user had
   9         to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide
  10         asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration.
  11         Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
  12         firewire-core.
