Subject: [PATCH 1/4 resend] firewire: ohci: work around cycle timer bugs on
 VIA controllers

Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 09:58:02 +0100
From: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@...isch.de>

VIA controllers sometimes return an inconsistent value when reading the
isochronous cycle timer register.  To work around this, read the
register multiple times and add consistency checks.
