Subject: [PATCH linux1394-2.6.git] firewire: fw-ohci: add option for remote
 debugging - amendment

Some afterthoughts:

  - Tell where the Kconfig prompt is in debugging-via-ohci1394.txt.

  - Open the physical DMA filter in the top half of the IRQ handler
    and flush the necessary MMIO writes.  This is to open the filter
    as soon as possible after bus reset.

  - Move the Kconfig prompt below the existing early debugging option.
    Seems more logical after all, because that one is for early use
    and this one for subsequent use.

  - Reword the existing early debugging option to state what it is for
    rather than how it works internally.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@...6.in-berlin.de>

This could be merged into patch "firewire: fw-ohci: add option for
remote debugging" before it is submitted to mainline.
