That's a -mm-only warning telling you that get_phy_reg() is doing a

Same with set_phy_reg, ohci_soft_reset, ohci_hw_csr_reg.

In fact I'm pretty sure we have seen reports on the linux-audio-user
list of apps reporting underruns when a 1394 drive is accessed.

These might have different causes. The 1394 storage driver, sbp2, performs quite a lot of protocol handling in IRQ or soft IRQ context. I have been planning to move this off into process context -- not really because of potential latency issues but for sake of more reliable protocol handling. I hope I get to it RSN.

AFAICS the offending ohci1394 functions mentioned above are never called during normal access to an SBP-2 device. They only happen when a host adapter is initialized or shut down or whenever a 1394 device is plugged in or out (actually whenever self ID reception is completed).
