The mistake which is fixed here is present since firewire-ohci was added
in 2.6.22. However, for a smooth submission to stable, the patched file...
>> --- linux-2.6.31-rc9.orig/drivers/firewire/ohci.c
>> +++ linux-2.6.31-rc9/drivers/firewire/ohci.c
...has to be drivers/firewire/fw-ohci.c in kernels before 2.6.31-rc1.
As hinted at in the changelog, I personally don't consider the fix
urgent because there are a few more self ID consistency checks in place
which catch a variety of real and theoretical corruptions, but I don't
claim that I'm appropriately aware of all possibilities.
