Linus Torvalds a38ff5bbf9 firewire-fixes-6.8-rc4
This pull request includes the change to accelerate the device detection
 step in some cases.
 
 In the self-identification step after bus-reset, all of nodes in the same
 bus broadcast selfID packet including the value of gap count. The value is
 related to the cable hops between nodes, and used to calculate the
 subaction gap and the arbitration reset gap. When each node has the
 different value of the gap count, the asynchronous communication between
 them is unreliable, since an asynchronous transaction could be interrupted
 by another asynchronous transaction before completion. The gap count
 inconsistency can be resolved by several ways; e.g. the transfer of PHY
 configuration packet and generation of bus-reset.
 
 Current implementation of firewire stack can correctly detect the gap
 count inconsistency, however the recovery action from the inconsistency
 tends to be delayed after reading configuration ROM of root node. This
 results in the long time to probe devices in some combinations of
 hardware. In the pull request, the stack is changed to schedule the
 action immediately as possible.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
