You can use firecontrol to set it on-the-fly.  To set it on node ffc2 i.e. the
node with phy ID 2, and controller 1 (i.e. libraw1394 "port" 1):
# echo "w . 2 0xfffff0000018 4 3" | firecontrol 1

This sets the whole-seconds part to 3, which gives you 3.1 seconds timeout if
the fractional part at 0xfffff000001c is still at its default value of 0.1
seconds, i.e. 800 << 19 (subsecond part in units of (1/8000)s shifted by 19).

# { echo "r . 2 0xfffff0000018 4"; echo "r . 2 0xfffff000001c 4"; } |
firecontrol 1

displays the current register value on node ffc2 at port 1.  Type "help" in
firecontrol for more available firecontrol commands.
