sytem reboots when initializing Edirol FA-101 firewire audio interface

[Steve Morris]

Hi All,

I'm running Arch Linux x86_64

My system consistently reboots when I power on my FA-101 when running
kernels 5.5.1-4. Downgrading to 5.4.15 allows everything to work
properly.

Here's the outpu of:
journalctl  | grep -E 'Reboot|firewire|fw|bebob|alsa|jack'

This is a good init under 5.4.15:
-- Reboot --

Followed by 125 more O_PAGE_FAULT and then the reboot,

I'll be happy to provide additional information if needed.
