Hector Martin e70b6693ce firewire: Add dummy read_csr/write_csr functions 
(Hector Martin wrote)
This fixes segfaults when a card gets yanked off of the PCIe bus while
busy, e.g. with a userspace app trying to get the cycle time:

As long as reading commit 2080222429 ("firewire: core: add forgotten
dummy driver methods, remove unused ones"), three functions are not
implemeted in dummy driver for reason; .read_csr, .write_csr, and
.set_config_rom.

In core of Linux FireWire subsystem, the callback of .set_config_rom is
under acquisition of mutual exclusive for local list of card. The
acquision is also done in process for removal of card, therefore it's
safe for missing implementation of .set_config_rom.

On the other hand, no lock primitive accompanies any call of .read_csr and
.write_csr. For userspace client, check of node shutdown is done in the
beginning of dispatch of ioctl request, while node shifts to shutdown
state in workqueue context enough after card shifts to dummy driver. It's
probable that these two functions are called for the dummy driver by the
code of userspace client. In-kernel unit driver has similar situation.
It's better to add implementation of the two functions for dummy driver.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
