Thanks for doing the firedtv cleanup. However, the effect should just be
that of dead code elimination. Was there any build problem that I missed?
AFAICS, firedtv builds and works fine in mainline 2.6.37(-rc) and
2.6.38(-rc). From when I implemented the drivers/firewire/ backend of
firedtv, it should have been possible to build firedtv for a kernel with
one or both of drivers/{ieee1394,firewire}; controlled by whether
CONFIG_{IEEE1394,FIREWIRE} are defined or not.
I will have a look at your changes later.
