[media] se401: remove last V4L1 driver
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This driver is 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.

The V4L1 API is no longer supported, and since nobody stepped in to convert
them to V4L2 the decision was made to remove them.

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.
