Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6:
  firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help
  firewire, ieee1394: update MAINTAINERS entries
  firewire: ohci: always use packet-per-buffer mode for isochronous reception
  firewire: cdev: fix another memory leak in an error path
  firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow multiple FCP listeners

Comments from Stefan:

   Distributors who still ship the old stack (ieee1394, ohci1394,
   raw1394, sbp2, eth1394 and more) should now switch to the new one
   (firewire-core, firewire-ohci, firewire-sbp2, firewire-net).  In the
   first iteration, those distributors might want to ship the old stack
   also (but blacklisted) as a fallback for their users if unforeseen
   problems with the newer replacement drivers are encountered.

   The older FireWire stack contains several known problems which are
   not going to be fixed; instead, those issues are addressed by the new
   stack.  An incomplete list of these issues is kept in bugzilla:

   We have a guide on migration from the older to the newer stack:
