    ieee1394: mark char device files as not seekable · 7cfe21aa

    character device file ABIs do not make any use of lseek(), pread(), or
    pwrite().  Therefore use nonseekable_open() and, redundantly, set
    file_operations.llseek to no_llseek to remove any doubt whether the BKL-
    grabbing default_llseek handler is used.
    
    Although all this is legacy code which should be left in peace until it
    is eventually removed (as it is superseded by firewire-core's
    <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI), this change seems still worth doing to
    further minimize the presence of BKL usage in the kernel.
