Thanks for this cleanup. Now that you did the work I hope you are not
too upset that a recent discussion on linux1394-devel and
libdc1394-devel concluded with another delay of the feature removal.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.devel/8055
Here is what I sent to the lists after the discussion:

Subject: ieee1394: raw1394: defer feature removal of old isoch interface
Known to be affected:
- libdc1394: prefers video1394 for now, old-style raw1394 support might
be dropped eventually
- OpenH323 PWLib, AVC video input module: uses libraw1394's old API
