I pushed topic branch[1] for it, since I'm considering about whether to send it to stable and longterm releases. I had realized that the debug=8 for firewire-ohci module provides tons of logs triggering by the irq handler, since the irq for bus reset is not unmasked, so I rely on selfID events when debugging bus-reset. I have few objections to the change. My concern is how much invasive it is. The unmasking is kept until bus_reset_work() is executed in the workqueue. When considering about the delay of workqueue (since it is a kind of schedulable task), many irq events for bus reset is potentially skipped from the logging. Of course, it is the aim of change. Let me take more time to evaluate the change, but I'm willing to send it to upstream until -rc3 or -rc4, at least, if receiving no objections from the others.
