Re: Regression from dcadfd7f7c74ef9ee415e072a19bdf6c085159eb

Hi,

The change for 1394 OHCI driver, aimed at suppressing the unexpected
system reboot in AMD Ryzen machine[1], has been merged into Linux kernel
v6.7[2]. It has also been applied to the following releases of stable and
longterm kernels.

* 6.6.11[3]
* 6.1.72[4]
* 5.15.147[5]
* 5.10.208[6]
* 5.4.267[7]
* 4.19.305[8]
* 4.14.336[9]

Once the downstream distribution project provides the corresponding kernel
packages, you should no longer encounter the unexpected system reboot.

Note that the following combination of hardware is not necessarily suitable,
depending on your use case:

* Any type of AMD Ryzen machine
* 1394 OHCI hardware consists of:
    * Asmedia ASM1083/1085
    * VIA VT6306/6307/6308

When working with time-aware protocol, such as audio sample processing, it
is advisable to avoid the combination. The change accompanies a functional
limitation that the software stack does not provides precise hardware time
in this case.

If you choose to continue using AMD Ryzen machine, the recommendation is
to replace the 1394 OHCI hardware with another one. Conversely, if you
choose to continue using the 1394 OHCI hardware, the recommendation is to
use the machine provided by vendors other than AMD.

Thanks for your report and long patience.
