Documentation/ABI/removed/raw1394

   1 What:           raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O 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/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
   6         access to FireWire buses.  Its major drawbacks were its inability
   7         to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
   8         of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much
   9         of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
  10         Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
  11         firewire-core.
