[2.6 patch] drivers/ieee1394/: schedule unused EXPORT_SYMBOL's for removal (fwd)

From: Adrian Bunk
Date: Sun Jul 03 2005 - 18:26:28 EST


This patch I sent on 13 May 2005 is still not in Linus' tree, and now
it's July.

What shall I do?
- resend this patch with the removal date set to August or
- send a patch to remove these symbols
