Stefan Richter 70093cfde8 ieee1394: eth1394: don't autoload by hotplug when ohci1394 starts 
Until now, ieee1394 put an IP-over-1394 capability entry into each new
host's config ROM.  As soon as the controller was initialized --- i.e.
right after modprobe ohci1394 --- this entry triggered a hotplug event
which typically caused auto-loading of eth1394.

This irritated or annoyed many users and distributors.  Of course they
could blacklist eth1394, but then ieee1394 wrongly advertized IP-over-
1394 capability to the FireWire bus.

Therefore
  - remove the offending kernel config option
    IEEE1394_CONFIG_ROM_IP1394,
  - let eth1394 add the ROM entry by itself, i.e. only after eth1394 was
    loaded.

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7793 .

To emulate the behaviour of older kernels, simply add the following to
to /etc/modprobe.conf:

install ohci1394 /sbin/modprobe eth1394; \
                 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ohci1394

Note, autoloading of eth1394 when an _external_ IP-over-1394 capable
device is discovered is _not_ affected by this patch.

IEEE 1394 describes a high performance serial bus, which is also
known as FireWire(tm) or i.Link(tm) and is used for connecting all
sorts of devices (most notably digital video cameras) to your
computer.
If you have FireWire hardware and want to use it, say Y here. This
is the core support only, you will also need to select a driver for
your IEEE 1394 adapter.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
module will be called ieee1394.

bool "Excessive debugging output"
depends on IEEE1394
help
If you say Y here, you will get very verbose debugging logs from
the subsystem which includes a dump of the header of every sent
and received packet. This can amount to a high amount of data
collected in a very short time which is usually also saved to
disk by the system logging daemons.
Say Y if you really want or need the debugging output, everyone
else says N.

Say Y here if you have an IEEE-1394 controller with the Texas

2 of this chip and may not work with revision 0.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
module will be called pcilynx.

help
Enable this driver if you have an IEEE 1394 controller based on the
OHCI-1394 specification. The current driver is only tested with OHCI
chipsets made by Texas Instruments and NEC. Most third-party vendors
use one of these chipsets. It should work with any OHCI-1394
compliant card, however.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
module will be called ohci1394.

this option only if you have an IEEE 1394 video device connected to
an OHCI-1394 card.

help
This option enables you to use SBP-2 devices connected to an IEEE
1394 bus. SBP-2 devices include storage devices like harddisks and
DVD drives, also some other FireWire devices like scanners.
You should also enable support for disks, CD-ROMs, etc. in the SCSI
configuration section.

help
This builds sbp2 for use with non-OHCI host adapters which do not
support physical DMA or for when ohci1394 is run with phys_dma=0.
Physical DMA is data movement without assistance of the drivers'
interrupt handlers. This option includes the interrupt handlers
that are required in absence of this hardware feature.
This option is buggy and currently broken on some architectures.
If unsure, say N.

help
This driver implements a functional majority of RFC 2734: IPv4 over
1394. It will provide IP connectivity with implementations of RFC
2734 found on other operating systems. It will not communicate with
older versions of this driver found in stock kernels prior to 2.6.3.
This driver is still considered experimental. It does not yet support
MCAP, therefore multicast support is significantly limited.
The module is called eth1394 although it does not emulate Ethernet.

The dv1394 driver is unsupported and may be removed from Linux in a
future release. Its functionality is now provided by raw1394 together
with libraries such as libiec61883.
config IEEE1394_RAWIO
tristate "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support"

help
Say Y here if you want support for the raw device. This is generally
a good idea, so you should say Y here. The raw device enables
direct communication of user programs with the IEEE 1394 bus and
thus with the attached peripherals.
To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the
module will be called raw1394.
