However, it is well-known that the solution is not necessarily effective in the mixing environment that both IEEE 1394-1995 PHY and IEEE 1394a-2000 (or later) PHY exist, as described in section 8.4.6.2 of IEEE 1394a-2000. The current implementation of firewire stack schedules the short bus reset when attempting to resolve the mismatch of gap count in the certain generation of bus topology. It can cause the continuous bus reset in the issued environment. The workaround simply uses the long bus reset instead of the short bus reset. It is desirable to detect whether the issued environment or not. However, the way to access PHY registers from remote note is firstly defined in IEEE 1394a-2000, thus it is not available in the case" * tag 'firewire-fixes-6.8-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394: firewire: core: use long bus reset on gap count error
