[PATCH] firewire: ohci: suppress unexpected system reboot in AMD Ryzen machines and ASM108x/VT630x PCIe cards

VIA VT6306/6307/6308 provides PCI interface compliant to 1394 OHCI. When
the hardware is combined with Asmedia ASM1083/1085 PCIe-to-PCI bus bridge,
it appears that accesses to its 'Isochronous Cycle Timer' register (offset
0xf0 on PCI I/O space) often causes unexpected system reboot in any type
of AMD Ryzen machine (both 0x17 and 0x19 families). It does not appears in
the other type of machine (AMD pre-Ryzen machine, Intel machine, at least),
or in the other OHCI 1394 hardware (e.g. Texas Instruments).

The issue explicitly appears at a commit dcadfd7f7c74 ("firewire: core:
use union for callback of transaction completion") added to v6.5 kernel.
It changed 1394 OHCI driver to access to the register every time to
dispatch local asynchronous transaction. However, the issue exists in
older version of kernel as long as it runs in AMD Ryzen machine, since
the access to the register is required to maintain bus time. It is not
hard to imagine that users experience the unexpected system reboot when
generating bus reset by plugging any devices in, or reading the register
by time-aware application programs; e.g. audio sample processing.

Well, this commit suppresses the system reboot in the combination of
hardware. It avoids the access itself. As a result, the software stack can
not provide the hardware time anymore to unit drivers, userspace
applications, and nodes in the same IEEE 1394 bus. It brings apparent
disadvantage since time-aware application programs require it, while
time-unaware applications are available again; e.g. sbp2.
