This update includes the series of changes related to device attributes, as well as slight code refactoring. Some old devices are recognized to have legacy layout of configuration ROM. They have an inconvenience that FireWire subsystem adds no attributes for vendor information to corresponding devices. The main purpose of this update is to rectify the inconvenience. We have a slight concern about regression. The update changes the value of modalias for the unit devices by populating its model field, which was previously left as zero in the case. I've assessed the potential impact of this change and anticipate it to have minimal concern for both the kernel and user lands. The change is enough acceptable. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYIAB0WIQQE66IEYNDXNBPeGKSsLtaWM8LwEwUCZZ57GAAKCRCsLtaWM8Lw EwPxAP41CGFkA3nDew4v6DDdKbudx7+JaTSZcinqssnu5SYmoQD8DERryjpTCeLH pCz0xVjPcmPMI6dXb4vkZCVL2gZzcgU= =5cnb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'firewire-updates-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394 Pull firewire updates from Takashi Sakamoto: "This includes the series of changes related to device attributes, as well as slight code refactoring.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
