466fa12c5SStefan RichterDescription:
566fa12c5SStefan Richter	/dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
666fa12c5SStefan Richter	access to FireWire buses.  Its major drawbacks were its inability
766fa12c5SStefan Richter	to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
86ffe1ffbSSean M. Collins	of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much
966fa12c5SStefan Richter	of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
1066fa12c5SStefan Richter	Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
1166fa12c5SStefan Richter	firewire-core.
