firewire: ohci: add module parameter to activate quirk fixes
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
The parameter can also be used to switch off quirk flags that were
hardwired into firewire-ohci's quirks table. Simply specify a non-zero
quirks value but without any known flags, e.g. 0x100.
