gcc 3.4.1-4mdk says:

drivers/ieee1394/nodemgr.c: In function `fw_set_rescan':
drivers/ieee1394/nodemgr.c:417: warning: 'rc' might be used
uninitialized in this function

The rest of the patch looks OK.

I get a lot more warn_unused_result warnings at other places in
ieee1394/nodemgr.c and ieee1394/hosts.c though. I could fix them all up
and fix this new warning in fw_set_rescan too if you don't mind...
