Perhaps it doesn't matter, but shouldn't it rather be a
subsys_initcall(ieee1394_init)?

[fs_initcall(ohci1394_init) instead of device_initcall(ohci1394_init) is
certainly appropriate if you want to have it up and running before other
device drivers.]

Also, I suggest an 80 columns friendly comment:
/* Register early.  Useful for remote debugging via physical DMA */
