ieee1394: support for slow links or slow 1394b phy ports
Add support for the following types of hardware:
+ nodes that have a link speed < PHY speed
+ 1394b PHYs that are less than S800 capable
+ 1394b/1394a adapter cable between two 1394b PHYs
Also, S1600 and S3200 are now supported if IEEE1394_SPEED_MAX is raised.
A probing function is added to nodemgr's config ROM fetching routine
which adjusts the allowable speed if an access problem was encountered.
Pros and Cons of the approach:
+ minimum code footprint to support this less widely used hardware
+ nearly no overhead for unaffected hardware
- ineffective before nodemgr began to read the ROM of affected nodes
- ineffective if ieee1394 is loaded with disable_nodemgr=1
The speed map CSRs which are published to the bus are not touched by the
patch.
