From 837ec787d85fda8d73193a399ebcea0288e4765b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Richter Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 23:56:55 +0200 Subject: firewire: core: don't update Broadcast_Channel if RFC 2734 conditions aren't met This extra check will avoid Broadcast_Channel register related traffic to many IIDC, SBP-2, and AV/C devices which aren't IRMC or have a max_rec < 8 (i.e. support < 512 bytes async payload). This avoids a little bit of traffic after bus reset and is even more careful with devices which don't implement this CSR. The assumption is that no other protocol than IP over 1394 uses the broadcast channel for streams.
