media: usbvision: deprecate driver
The driver is deprecated and scheduled for removal by the end
of 2020. The reason is that this driver is for old and obsolete
hardware, and it produces a continuous stream of syzbot errors due
to poor code.
In order to prevent removal the following actions would have to
be taken:
- clean up the code
- convert to the vb2 framework
- fix the disconnect and free-on-last-user handling (i.e., add
a release callback for struct v4l2_device and rework the code
to use that correctly).
