firewire: Preserve response data alignment bug when it is harmless
Recently, a bug having to do with the alignment of transaction response
data was fixed. However, some apps such as libdc1394 relied on the
presence of that bug in order to function correctly. In order to stay
compatible with old versions of those apps, this patch preserves the bug
in cases where it is harmless to normal operation (such as the single
quadlet read) due to a simple duplication of data. This guarantees
maximum compatability for those users who are using the old app with the
fixed kernel.
