video1394

 1What:		video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video support" for FireWire)
 2Date:		May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
 3Contact:	linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
 4Description:
 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
12	Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
13	firewire-core.
