Seems, for some reason, the "ieee1394_id" attribute becomes readable
because of lucky timing, which wasn't the case before.

I guess, it's just a not-easy-to-reproduce timing issue with the sysfs
attribute.

Yeah, sure they should not change like this.

We could just drop the ieee1394-* link creation entirely, if they
never worked as expected. Or we can provide it as an additional link
instead of making it skip the scsi-* link creation. Tino, care to try
if something like the attached works for your setup and creates at
least the scsi-links, and, if luckily timed, the ieee1394 links?

Stefan, ieee1394 hooks into scsi logic which, i guess, creates the
attribute _after_ event time, so udev will not see the attribute when
the device is announced. Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks,
Kay
