They have, and in addition the Kconfig entry will mention that the driver
is deprecated.

TODO of usbvision:

The driver is deprecated and scheduled for removal by the end
of 2020.

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).

Regards,
