In fact, I would expect it to be related to one (or both) of

Should I try reverting one or both of these?
Yes. From a quick check, they revert cleanly (revert 993ab48006b3
first) and the result seems to compile cleanly too.
I can confirm that the kernel boots with these two reverted.
I have attached the new dmesg output.
Thanks. I guess it's up to Takashi to figure out what exactly goes
wrong, but it's good to have this confirmed. I hope you'll be willing
to test any patches that Takashi comes up with.
And if we can't figure it out, I guess reverting them is the right
thing, but let's wait until at least rc2 is imminent before we do
that.
I am also seeing this, and can confirm that reverting the whole firewire
pull fixes it here.

TWIMC, John ran into a problem with mentioned f2ae92780ab9 commit that
from a brief look looks similar to the one Harald reported. And Takashi
posted a fix for it here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260228031255.GA832746@workstation.local/

Not sure why Takashi did not reply here. Feels a bit like I'm missing
something.


Thanks, that patch indeed fixes it for me, too.
