Subject: [stable patch 2.6.20 3/3] ieee1394: fix host device registering when
 nodemgr disabled

Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 02:34:45 +0100 (CET)
From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@...6.in-berlin.de>

Since my commit 8252bbb1363b7fe963a3eb6f8a36da619a6f5a65 in 2.6.20-rc1,
host devices have a dummy driver attached.  Alas the driver was not
registered before use if ieee1394 was loaded with disable_nodemgr=1.

This resulted in non-functional FireWire drivers or kernel lockup.

same as commit 91efa462054d44ae52b0c6c8325ed5e899f2cd17 in linux-2.6.20-git#

(Side note:  The parameter disable_nodemgr=1 is merely an optional
tuning parameter for people who know what they are doing and who don't
need device discovery and bus management.)
