Looking over the driver code, I can't see any clear path from what 
malfunctioned to the errors you are seeing now.

I would think that a simple bus reset from fwcontrol would clear this.  
The BUSRST message means that the driver
is getting a BUS_RESET when it's internal state machine is not 
BUS_RESET.  Kind of confusing, but that means
you should be able to clear it out with a "fwcontrol -r -u 1" ???  You 
will _HAVE_ to use the new code to send a bus reset
to the second bus.
