This commit allows ALSA fireface driver to share PCM buffer size for
both capture and playback PCM substream. When AMDTP domain starts for
one of the PCM substream, buffer size of the PCM substream is stores to
AMDTP domain structure. Some AMDTP streams have already run with the
buffer size when another PCM substream starts, therefore the PCM
substream has a constraint to its buffer size.

pcm.hw_params/hw_free callbacks
Once allocated, isochronous resources are available for packet
streaming, even if the streaming is cancelled. For this reason,
current implementation handles allocation of the resources and
starting packet streaming at the same time. However, this brings
complicated procedure to start packet streaming.
This commit separates the allocation and starting. The allocation is
done in pcm.hw_params callback and available till pcm.hw_free callback.
Even if any XRUN occurs, pcm.prepare callback is done to restart
packet streaming for allocated the resources.
There are two points to stop packet streaming; in pcm.hw_params and
pcm.prepare callbacks.

In latter model of Fireface series, asynchronous transaction includes
a prefix byte to indicate the way to decode included MIDI bytes.
Upper 4 bits of the prefix byte indicates port number, and the rest 4
bits indicate the way to decode rest of bytes for MIDI messages.
Basically the rest bits indicates the number of bytes for MIDI message.
However, if the last byte of each MIDi message is included, the rest
bits are 0xf. For example:
message: f0 00 00 66 14 20 00 00 f7
offset: content (big endian, port 0)
'0030: 0x02f00000
'0030: 0x03006614
'0030: 0x03200000
'0030: 0x0ff70000
This commit supports encoding scheme for the above and allows
applications to transfer MIDI messages via ALSA rawmidi interface.
An unused member (running_status) is reused to keep state of
transmission of system exclusive messages.

async transaction
In Fireface series, drivers can register destination address for
asynchronous transaction which transfers MIDI messages from device.
In former models, all of the transactions arrive at the registered
address without any offset. In latter models, each of the transaction
arrives at the registered address with sequential offset within 0x00
to 0x7f. This seems to be for discontinuity detection.

In a series of Fireface, devices transfer asynchronous transaction with
MIDI messages. In the transaction, content is different depending on
models. ALSA fireface driver has protocol-dependent handler to pick up
MIDI messages from the content.
In latter models of the series, the transaction is transferred to range
of address sequentially. This seems to check continuity of transferred
messages.

Fireface 800 is a flagship model of RME GmbH for audio and music units
on IEEE 1394 bus, shipped 2004. This model consists of four chips:
- TI TSB81BA3D for physical layer on cable environment of EEE 1394 bus
- TI TSB82AA2 for link layer for 1394 OHCI bus bridge to PCI bus
- Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA XC3S400
- Xilinx High-Performance CPLD XC9572XL
This commit adds support Fireface 800. In this time, the support is
restricted to its MIDI functionality, thus this commit adds some
condition statements to avoid touching streaming functionality.
Unlike Fireface 400, Fireface 800 has no functionality to suppress
asynchronous transactions for MIDI messages except for unregister of
listen address in controller side, thus the feature is available as is.

This commit adds PCM functionality to transmit/receive PCM frames on
isochronous packet streaming. This commit enables userspace applications
to start/stop packet streaming via ALSA PCM interface.
Sampling rate requested by applications is used as sampling transmission
frequency of IEC 61883-1/6packet streaming. As I described in followed
commits, units in this series manages sampling clock frequency
independently of sampling transmission frequency, and they supports
resampling between their packet streaming/data block processing layer and
sampling data processing layer. This commit take this driver to utilize
these features for usability.
When internal clock is selected as source signal of sampling clock, this
driver allows user space applications to start PCM substreams at any rate
which packet streaming engine supports as sampling transmission frequency.
In this case, this driver expects units to perform resampling PCM frames
for rx/tx packets when sampling clock frequency and sampling transmission
frequency are mismatched. This is for daily use cases.
When any external clock is selected as the source signal, this driver
gets configured sampling rate from units, then restricts available
sampling rate to the rate for PCM applications. This is for studio use
cases.
Models in this series supports 64.0/128.0 kHz of sampling rate, however
these frequencies are not supported by IEC 61883-6 as sampling transmission
frequency. Therefore, packet streaming engine of ALSA firewire stack can't
handle them. When units are configured to use any external clock as source
signal of sampling clock and one of these unsupported rate is configured
as rate of the sampling clock, this driver returns EIO to user space
applications.
Anyway, this driver doesn't voluntarily configure parameters of sampling
clock. It's better for users to work with appropriate user space
implementations to configure the parameters in advance of usage.

This commit adds management functionality for packet streaming.
As long as investigating Fireface 400, there're three modes depending
on sampling transmission frequency. The number of data channels in each
data block is different depending on the mode. The set of available
data channels for each mode might be different for each protocol and
model.
The length of registers for the number of isochronous channel is just
three bits, therefore 0-7ch are available.
When bus reset occurs on IEEE 1394 bus, the device discontinues to
transmit packets. This commit aborts PCM substreams at bus reset handler.
As I described in followed commits, The device manages its sampling clock
independently of sampling transmission frequency against IEC 61883-6.
Thus, it's a lower cost to change the sampling transmission frequency,
while data fetch between streaming layer and DSP require larger buffer
for resampling. As a result, device latency might tend to be larger than
ASICs for IEC 61883-1/6 such as DM1000/DM1100/DM1500 (BeBoB),
DiceII/TCD2210/TCD2220/TCD3070 and OXFW970/971.

As long as investigating Fireface 400, format of payload of each
isochronous packet is not IEC 61883-1/6, thus its format of data block
is not AM824. The remarkable points of the format are:
* The payload just consists of some data channels of quadlet size without
CIP header.
* Each data channels includes data aligned to little endian order.
* One data channel consists of two parts; 8 bit ancillary field and 24 bit
PCM frame.
Due to lack of CIP headers, rx/tx packets include no CIP headers and
different way to check packet discontinuity. For tx packet, the ancillary
field is used for counter. However, the way of counting is different
depending on positions of data channels. At 44.1 kHz, ancillary field in:
* 1st/6th/9th/10th/14th/17th data channels: not used for this purpose.
* 2nd/18th data channels: incremented every data block (0x00-0xff).
* 3rd/4th/5th/11th/12th/13th data channels: incremented every 256 data
blocks (0x00-0x07).
* 7th/8th/15th/16th data channels: incremented per the number of data
blocks in a packet. The increment can occur per packet (0x00-0xff).
For tx packet, tag of each isochronous packet is used for this purpose.
The value of tag cyclically changes between 0, 1, 2 and 3 in this order.
The interval is different depending on sampling transmission frequency.
At 44.1/48.0 kHz, it's 256 data blocks. At 88.2 kHz, it's 96 data blocks.
The number of data blocks in tx packet is exactly the same as
SYT_INTERVAL. There's no empty packet or no-data packet, thus the
throughput is not 8,000 packets per sec. On the other hand, the one in
rx packet is 8,000 packets per sec, thus the number of data blocks is
different between each packet, depending on sampling transmission
frequency:
* 44.1 kHz: 5 or 6
* 48.0 kHz: 5 or 6 or 7
* 88.2 kHz: 10 or 11 or 12
This commit adds data processing layer to satisfy the above specification
in a policy of 'best effort'. Although PCM frames are handled for
intermediate buffer to user space, the ancillary data is not handled at all
to reduce CPU usage, thus counter is not checked. 0 is always used for tag
of isochronous packet. Furthermore, the packet streaming layer is
responsible for calculation of the number of data blocks for each packet,
thus it's not exactly the same sequence from the above observation.

As long as investigating Fireface 400, MIDI messages are transferred by
asynchronous communication over IEEE 1394 bus.
Fireface 400 receives MIDI messages by write transactions to two addresses;
0x'0000'0801'8000 and 0x'0000'0801'9000. Each of two seems to correspond to
MIDI port 1 and 2.
Fireface 400 transfers MIDI messages by write transactions to certain
addresses which configured by drivers. The drivers can decide upper 4 byte
of the addresses by write transactions to 0x'0000'0801'03f4. For the rest
part of the address, drivers can select from below options:
* 0x'0000'0000
* 0x'0000'0080
* 0x'0000'0100
* 0x'0000'0180
Selected options are represented in register 0x'0000'0801'051c as bit
flags. Due to this mechanism, drivers are restricted to use addresses on
'Memory space' of IEEE 1222, even if transactions to the address have
some side effects.
This commit adds transaction support for MIDI messaging, based on my
assumption that the similar mechanism is used on the other protocols. To
receive asynchronous transactions, the driver allocates a range of address
in 'Memory space'. I apply a strategy to use 0x'0000'0000 as lower 4 byte
of the address. When getting failure from Linux FireWire subsystem, this
driver retries to allocate addresses.
Unfortunately, read transaction to address 0x'0000'0801'051c returns zero
always, however write transactions have effects to the other features such
as status of sampling clock. For this reason, this commit delegates a task
to configure this register to user space applications. The applications
should set 3rd bit in LSB in little endian order.

As of 2016, RME discontinued its Fireface series, thus it's OK for us
to focus on released firmwares to drive known units.
As long as investigating Fireface 400 with Windows driver and comparing
the result to FFADO implementation, I can see these firmwares have
different register assignments. On the other hand, according to manuals
of each models, features relevant to packet streaming seem to be common,
because GUIs for these models have the same options. It's reasonable to
assume an abstraction layer of protocols to communicate to each models.
This commit adds the abstraction layer for the protocols. This layer
includes some functions to operate common features of models in this
series.
In IEC 61883-1/6, the sequence of packet can transfer timing information
to synchronize receivers to transmitters. Units of each node on IEEE 1394
bus can generate transmitter's timing clock by handling value of SYT field
in CIP header with high-precision clock. For audio and music units on
IEEE 1394 bus, this recovered clock is designed to used for sampling clock
to capture/generate PCM frames on DSP/ADC/DAC. (Actually, in this world,
there's no units to implement this specification as is, as long as I
know).
Fireface series doesn't use this mechanism. Besides, It doesn't use
isochronous packet with CIP header. It uses internal crystal unit as its
initial sampling clock. When detecting input signals which can be
available for sampling clock (e.g. ADAT input), drivers can configure
units to use the signals as source of sampling clock. When something goes
wrong, e.g. frequency mismatching between the signal and configured value,
units fallback to the other detected signals alternatively. When detecting
no alternatives, internal crystal unit is used as source of sampling
clock. On manual of Fireface 400, this mechanism is described as
'Autosync'.
On the units, packet streaming is controlled by write transactions to
certain registers. Format of the packet, e.g. the number of data channels
in a data block, is also configured by the same manner. For this purpose,
.begin_session and .finish_session is added.
The remarkable point of this protocol is to allow drivers to configure
arbitrary sampling transmission frequency; e.g. 12.345 Hz. As long as I
know, there's no actual DAC/ADC chips which support this kind of
capability. I think a pair of packet streaming layer and data block
processing layer is isolated from sampling data processing layer in a
point of governed clock. In short, between these parts, resampling layer
exists. Actually, for Fireface 400, write transactions to
0x'0000'8010'051c has an effect to change sampling clock frequency with
base frequencies (32.0/44.1/48.0 kHz) and its multipliers (x2/x4),
regardless of sampling transmission frequency.
For this reason, the abstraction layer doesn't handle parameters for
sampling clock. Instead, each implementation of .begin_session is
expected to configure sampling transmission frequency.
For packet streaming layer, it's enough to get current selection of
source signals for the sampling clock and its frequency. In the
abstraction layer, when internal crystal is selected, drivers can sets
arbitrary sampling frequency, else they should follow configured
frequency. For this purpose, .get_clock is added.
Drivers are allows to bank up data fetching from a pair of packet
streaming/data block processing layer and sampling data processing layer.
This feature seems to suppress noises at starting/stopping packet
streaming. For this purpose, .switch_fetching_mode is added.
As I described in the above, units have remarkable mechanism to manage
sampling clock and process sampling data. For debugging purpose,
.dump_sync_status and .dump_clock_config are added. I don't have a need
to common interface to represent the status and configuration,
developers can add actual implementation of the abstraction layer as they
like.
Unlike PCM frames, MIDI messages are transferred by asynchronous
communication over IEEE 1394 bus, thus target addresses are important for
this feature. The .midi_high_addr_reg, .midi_rx_port_0_reg and
.midi_rx_port_1_reg are for this purpose. I'll describe them in following
commit.

RME Fireface series has several models and their specifications are
different. Currently, we find no way to retrieve the specifications
from actual devices and need to implement them in this driver.
This commit adds a structure to describe model specific data. This
structure has an identical name for each unit, and maximum number of
data channels in each mode. I'll describe about the mode in following
commits.

Just after appearing on IEEE 1394 bus, this unit generates several bus
resets. This is due to loading firmware from on-board flash memory and
initialize hardware. It's better to postpone sound card registration.
This commit schedules workqueue to process actual probe processing
2 seconds after the last bus-reset. The card instance is kept at unit
probe callback and released at card free callback. Therefore, when the
actual probe processing fails, the memory block is wasted. This is due to
simplify driver implementation.

This commit adds a new driver for RME Fireface series. This commit just
creates/removes card instance according to IEEE 1394 bus event. More
functions will be added in following commits.
Three types of firmware have released by RME GmbH; for Fireface 400, for
Fireface 800 and for UCX/802/UFX. It's reasonable that these models use
different protocol for communication. Currently, I've investigated
Fireface 400 and nothing others.
