I didn't notice this new version, thanks for pointing this out. 
Hopefully the differences between 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 are not large.

I haven't had free time to work on this. The code KO's my laptop, it 
needs testing on a desktop machine with easy access to DDB, it must be 
triggering a bug, perhaps in the firewire(4) ioctl handling.

Of particular note is the fact that raw1394 likes to address devices via 
their number on the bus; the code in fwcontrol which I've been working 
from prefers to address them via their EUI64 directly, however, this 
would require a laborious set of lookups and reverse-lookups to work in 
libraw1394. I'm sure there is an easier way, reading the code for 
firewire(4) indicates it will accept bus-numbered addressing.
