[media] se401: remove last V4L1 driver 



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.

	  for more information and for a list of supported cameras.



	  This driver uses the deprecated V4L1 API and will be removed in

	  2.6.39, unless someone converts it to the V4L2 API.



	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

	  module will be called se401.
