Subject: v4l regression: V4L2_CID_[VH]CENTER disappeared without notice.

These were removed in commit 26d507fcfef7f7d0cd2eec874a87169cc121c835:
V4L/DVB (7166): [v4l] Add new user class controls and deprecate others

But there was no warning in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
and I'm receiving reports that it's breaking userspace apps (the
gstreamer-v4l2 plugin breaks in Fedora rawhide). You can't just pull
things from the published userspace API like that.

Please can we revert the addition of _DEPRECATED to these ioctl
definitions. Perhaps we can add a runtime warning if they actually get
used? Or a compile-time warning if we can manage that?
