Even though
     firewire: insist on successive self ID complete events
     firewire: fw-ohci: add self ID error check
     firewire: fw-ohci: catch self_id_count == 0
didn't fix any of Jarod's weird setups, I plan on submitting these 
patches nevertheless (after 2.6.25) because they IMO fix real 
possibilities for panics in the topology code.
