I was trying to use my old iPod mini firewire (first generation) with
a new firewire card I put in my PC (VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306/7/8),
but the iPod was not mounted and failed with the following error:
reading config rom failed: no ack
It appears that the configuration rom cannot be read after the
device max speed is set to something else than SCODE_100.
According to the iPod configuration ROM, it should support SCODE_400.
This patch adds a a parameter (force_speed) to the firewire-core module
to be able to set the max speed to use with the firewire devices.
