I realized that it causes an issue at the path to initialize device
structure for node in IEEE 1394 bus.

(drivers/firewire/core-device.c)
fw_device_init() / fw_device_refresh()
->create_units()
  ->init_fw_attribute_group()
    ->attr->show(dev, attr, NULL)

Furthermore, 'show_text_leaf()' returns negative value when the NULL
pointer is passed. It results in the lack of vendor/model names from
sysfs.

I absolutely overlooked them. I would like to fix them within this merge
window, or revert them as a last resort...
