If it was orphaned it was done so mistakenly. I maintain that code, and linux1394. Aside from that, the the change was pushed into the mainstream kernel without going through our repository, which means it would have been caught before going to all of our users (most of users of ieee1394 on linux use it for sbp2). THese changes break sbp2, and we'll need to revert them in the main stream kernel until the patch is tested and fixed in our tree.
