V4L/DVB: Deprecate stradis driver
The driver author seems to not worked on this driver since its conversion from 2.2 to 2.4. Nobody is known to have a stradis hardware for testing. As it still uses V4L1 API, BKL and probably some other old stuff, someone would need to work on it to preserve the driver. Instead of investing time and efforts to keep porting it to work with new API's, it seems better to just drop the driver. So, let's move it to drivers/staging and label it to die at 2.6.38, if nobody cares enough to port parallel port support to gspca or to create a new driver that uses the same gspca-cpia sub-driver.

to migrate. Those drivers are for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer
didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer
