Many tracepoints events have been added to 6.10 and 6.11 kernels. They are
available as an alternative of debug parameter in firewire-ohci module.

The logging messages enabled by the parameter require some cumbersomes in
a point of maintenance; e.g. the code to decode transaction frame.

This commit adds deprecation text to conduct users to them..
