I added a failure check in patch "sbp2: variable status FIFO address
(fix login timeout)" --- alas for a wrong error value.  This is a bug
since Linux 2.6.16.  Leads to NULL pointer dereference if the call
failed, and bogus failure handling if call succeeded.

applies to 2.6.17-rc5
applies to 2.6.16.x after patch ''ohci1394, sbp2: fix "scsi_add_device
failed" with PL-3507 based devices''
