firewire: ohci: fix TI TSB82AA2 regression since 2.6.35
Revert commit 54672386 "firewire: ohci: fix up configuration of TI chips". It caused massive slow-down and data corruption with a TSB82AA2 based StarTech EC1394B2 ExpressCard and FireWire 800 harddisks. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/657081 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.user/4013 The fact that some card EEPROMs do not program these enhancements may be related to TSB81BA3 phy chip errata, if not to bugs of TSB82AA2 itself. We could re-add these configuration steps, but only conditional on a whitelist of cards on which these enhancements bring a proven positive effect.
