ieee1394: change deprecation status of dv1394
Nobody ported ffmpeg from dv1394 to rawiso yet, and there is no justification to remove dv1394 right now. Nevertheless, a strong deprecation of this ABI makes a lot of sense, especially as Kristian H's drivers shape up to be an attractive alternative to the existing ones. But we don't have a schedule at the moment. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
