ieee1394: schedule *_oui sysfs attributes for removal
There is no manpower available to reform oui.db into a library for use
in more kernel subsystems. The low ratio of usefulness to size and the
occasional need to update oui.db from IEEE's official list suggest to
drop oui.db. I plan to make a userspace script available which
translates the remaining numeric sysfs attributes to names of
organizations.
