firewire: core: don't fail device creation in case of too large config ROM blocks
It never happened yet, but better safe than sorry: If a device's config ROM contains a block which overlaps the boundary at 0xfffff00007ff, just ignore that one block instead of refusing to add the device representation. That way, upper layers (kernelspace or userspace drivers) might still be able to use the device to some degree. That's better than total inaccessibility of the device. Worse, the core would have logged only a generic "giving up on config rom" message which could only be debugged by feeding a firewire-ohci debug logging session through a config ROM interpreter, IOW would likely remain undiagnosed.
