The dv1394 driver is unsupported and may be removed from Linux in a
future release. Its functionality is now provided by raw1394 together
with libraries such as libiec61883.

help
- This option adds support for the raw1394 device file which enables
- direct communication of user programs with the IEEE 1394 bus and thus
- with the attached peripherals. Almost all application programs which
- access FireWire require this option.
+ If you say Y here, you will get very verbose debugging logs from the
+ ieee1394 drivers, including sent and received packet headers. This
+ will quickly result in large amounts of data sent to the system log.
- To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
- called raw1394.
+ Say Y if you really need the debugging output. Everyone else says N.
