    firewire: insist on successive self ID complete events · a5c7f471
    Stefan Richter authored
    The whole topology code only works if the old and new topologies which
    are compared come from immediately successive self ID complete events.
    
    If there happened bus resets without self ID complete events in the
    meantime, or self ID complete events with invalid selfIDs, the topology
    comparison could identify nodes wrongly, or more likely just corrupt
    kernel memory or panic right away.
    
    We now discard all nodes of the old topology and treat all current nodes
    as new ones if the current self ID generation is not the previous one
    plus 1.
