Merge tag 'firewire-updates' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394

Pull firewire updates from Stefan Richter:
  - feed GUIDs of FireWire nodes to the random pool
  - more complete quirk handling of a TI S400B phy
  - avoid holding a core lock while calling into highlevel drivers

* tag 'firewire-updates' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394:
  firewire: addendum to address handler RCU conversion
  firewire: remove global lock around address handlers, convert to RCU
  firewire: ohci: get IR bit from TSB41BA3D phy
  firewire: core: feed /dev/random with devices' GUIDs
