Hi Linus,
Nice to meet you. I'm a new maintainer of FireWire subsystem, taking over
from Stefan Richter. Please pull FireWire updates for 6.4-rc1.
The following changes since commit 457391b0380335d5e9a5babdec90ac53928b23b4:

firewire updates for 6.4-rc1
The pull request includes a few changes, Its main purpose is to prepare
for my future work by taking over maintainership from Stefan Richter. I
have plans to work on several items; e.g. packet processing in workqueue
context instead of tasklet.
As you may be aware, the IEEE 1394 technology is outdated. However, we
still have users. It is better to ensure a smooth transition for the users
to shift to other categories of devices. The first commit includes my
schedule to maintain the subsystem for the next six years. I would
appreciate your assistance throughout this period.
