[PATCH 6/8] firewire: ohci: add module parameter to activate quirkfixes

[Stefan Richter]

This way, we can advise users of precompiled kernel packages to test
existing quirk fixes on chips which have not been listed yet, without
them having to build a kernel from source.

Note, to use this feature on a machine with more than one controller,
steps like these are necessary:
# lspci | grep 1394
# ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/firewire_ohci/
# echo -n "0000:03:02.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/firewire_ohci/unbind
# echo 2 > /sys/module/firewire_ohci/parameters/quirks
# echo -n "0000:03:02.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/firewire_ohci/bind
# echo 0 > /sys/module/firewire_ohci/parameters/quirks
