Mauro Carvalho Chehab 54a19b4d3f docs: ABI: cleanup several ABI documents
There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate
any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script
on its output result.

Address them, in order to provide a clean output.

What: video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video support" for FireWire)
Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
/dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
controller, which were used for isochronous I/O. It was added as an
alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had
performance issues in its first generation. Any video1394 user had
to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide
asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration.
Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
firewire-core.
Users:
libdc1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI
users)
