Stefan Richter 5d7db0499e firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help
Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move
from the older to the newer drivers.  However, do not label ieee1394 as
"Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default
stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start
doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for
unforeseen issues.

Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer
firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio
devices.  Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd
generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on
library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

help
This is the new-generation IEEE 1394 (FireWire) driver stack
a.k.a. Juju, a new implementation designed for robustness and
simplicity.
See http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration
for information about migration from the older Linux 1394 stack
to the new driver stack.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called firewire-core.
config FIREWIRE_OHCI
tristate "OHCI-1394 controllers"
depends on PCI && FIREWIRE
help
Enable this driver if you have a FireWire controller based
on the OHCI specification. For all practical purposes, this
is the only chipset in use, so say Y here.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
called firewire-ohci.
config FIREWIRE_OHCI_DEBUG
bool

default y
config FIREWIRE_SBP2
tristate "Storage devices (SBP-2 protocol)"
depends on FIREWIRE && SCSI
help
This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to a
FireWire bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like
harddisks and DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices
like scanners.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
called firewire-sbp2.
You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
configuration section.
config FIREWIRE_NET
tristate "IP networking over 1394 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on FIREWIRE && INET && EXPERIMENTAL
help
This enables IPv4 over IEEE 1394, providing IP connectivity with
other implementations of RFC 2734 as found on several operating
systems. Multicast support is currently limited.
NOTE, this driver is not stable yet!
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: The module will be
called firewire-net.
