fwohci — OHCI FireWire chipset device driver

       The fwohci device driver was written by Katsushi Kobayashi and Hidetoshi Shimokawa.

       The driver allows physical access from any nodes on the bus by default.  This means that any  devices  on
       the  bus  can  read  and  modify any memory space which can be accessed by an IEEE 1394 OHCI chip.  It is
       allowed mostly for sbp(4) devices.  This should be  changed  to  allow  it  only  for  specific  devices.
       Anyway,  FireWire  is a bus and not expected to be connected with un-trustable devices because a node can
       monitor all the traffic.

       The  fwohci  driver  provides  support for PCI/CardBus FireWire interface cards.  The driver supports the
       following IEEE 1394 OHCI chipsets:

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

             devicefirewire

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             firewire_load="YES"

       To disable physical access (see “BUGS” section for detail), put the following line in loader.conf(5):

             hw.firewire.phydma_enable=0
