Pull firewire fixes from Takashi Sakamoto: "A workaround to suppress the continuous bus resets in the case that older devices are connected to the modern 1394 OHCI hardware and devices In IEEE 1394 Amendment (IEEE 1394a-2000), the short bus reset is added to resolve the shortcomings of the long bus reset in IEEE 1394-1995. However, it is well-known that the solution is not necessarily effective in the mixing environment that both IEEE 1394-1995 PHY and IEEE 1394a-2000 (or later) PHY exist, as described in section 8.4.6.2 of IEEE 1394a-2000. The current implementation of firewire stack schedules the short bus reset when attempting to resolve the mismatch of gap count in the certain generation of bus topology. It can cause the continuous bus reset in the issued environment. The workaround simply uses the long bus reset instead of the short bus reset. It is desirable to detect whether the issued environment or not. However, the way to access PHY registers from remote note is firstly defined in IEEE 1394a-2000, thus it is not available in the case" * tag 'firewire-fixes-6.8-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394: firewire: core: use long bus reset on gap count error
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
