-What: Video4Linux obsolete drivers using V4L1 API
-When: kernel 2.6.39
-Files: drivers/staging/se401/* drivers/staging/usbvideo/*
-Check: drivers/staging/se401/se401.c drivers/staging/usbvideo/usbvideo.c
-Why: There are some drivers still using V4L1 API, despite all efforts we've done
- to migrate. Those drivers are for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer
- didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer
- could find any hardware to buy. They probably have no practical usage today,
- and people with such old hardware could probably keep using an older version
- of the kernel. Those drivers will be moved to staging on 2.6.38 and, if nobody
- cares enough to port and test them with V4L2 API, they'll be removed on 2.6.39.

-What: Video4Linux: Remove obsolete ioctl's
-When: kernel 2.6.39
-Files: include/media/videodev2.h
-Why: Some ioctl's were defined wrong on 2.6.2 and 2.6.6, using the wrong
- type of R/W arguments. They were fixed, but the old ioctl names are
- still there, maintained to avoid breaking binary compatibility:
- #define VIDIOC_OVERLAY_OLD _IOWR('V', 14, int)
- #define VIDIOC_S_PARM_OLD _IOW('V', 22, struct v4l2_streamparm)
- #define VIDIOC_S_CTRL_OLD _IOW('V', 28, struct v4l2_control)
- #define VIDIOC_G_AUDIO_OLD _IOWR('V', 33, struct v4l2_audio)
- #define VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT_OLD _IOWR('V', 49, struct v4l2_audioout)
- #define VIDIOC_CROPCAP_OLD _IOR('V', 58, struct v4l2_cropcap)
- There's no sense on preserving those forever, as it is very doubtful
- that someone would try to use a such old binary with a modern kernel.
- Removing them will allow us to remove some magic done at the V4L ioctl
- handler.
