V4L/DVB: Deprecate cpia driver (used for parallel port webcams)
cpia driver were re-written inside gspca driver, for USB devices. The only functionality that were not migrated is the support for parallel port, as: 1) the developer didn't find any hardware; 2) it doesn't seem important to keep support for a parallel port webcam, as this is an obsolete technology; 3) the changes at gspca for it to work with parallel port would be very large; 4) this driver still uses BKL. So, let's move it to drivers/staging and label it to die at 2.6.38, if nobody cares enough to port parallel port support to gspca or to create a new driver that uses the same gspca-cpia sub-driver.

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 2.6.37 and, if nobody
|
||||||
|
care enough to port and test them with V4L2 API, they'll be removed on 2.6.38.

This is an obsolete driver for some cpia-based webcams that use the parallel port.
|
||||||
|
We couldn't find anyone with this hardware in order to port it to use V4L2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, parallel-port webcams are obsolete nowadays.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If nobody take care on it, the driver will be removed for 2.6.38.
