[PATCH 1/2] ieee1394: add quirk fix for Freecom HDD

From: Stefan Richter
Date: Sat Dec 13 2008 - 17:11:31 EST


According to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12206, Freecom
FireWire Hard Drive 1TB reports max_rom=2 but returns garbage if block
read requests are used to read the config ROM. Force max_rom=0 to limit
them to quadlet read requests.

Candidate patch for 2.6.28 and 2.6.27.y.
Christian, please test and confirm that I got this right.
