This extra check will avoid Broadcast_Channel register related traffic
to many IIDC, SBP-2, and AV/C devices which aren't IRMC or have a
max_rec < 8 (i.e. support < 512 bytes async payload). This avoids a
little bit of traffic after bus reset and is even more careful with
devices which don't implement this CSR.
The assumption is that no other protocol than IP over 1394 uses the
broadcast channel for streams.

Retrieval of an fw_unit's parent is a common pattern in high-level code.
Wrap it up as device = fw_parent_device(unit).

The three header files of firewire-core, i.e.
"drivers/firewire/fw-device.h",
"drivers/firewire/fw-topology.h",
"drivers/firewire/fw-transaction.h",
are replaced by
"drivers/firewire/core.h",
"include/linux/firewire.h".
The latter includes everything which a firewire high-level driver (like
firewire-sbp2) needs besides linux/firewire-constants.h, while core.h
contains the rest which is needed by firewire-core itself and by low-
level drivers (card drivers) like firewire-ohci.
High-level drivers can now also reside outside of drivers/firewire
without having to add drivers/firewire to the header file search path in
makefiles. At least the firedtv driver will be such a driver.
I also considered to spread the contents of core.h over several files,
one for each .c file where the respective implementation resides. But
it turned out that most core .c files will end up including most of the
core .h files. Also, the combined core.h isn't unreasonably big, and it
will lose more of its contents to linux/firewire.h anyway soon when more
firewire drivers are added. (IP-over-1394, firedtv, and there are plans
for one or two more.)
Furthermore, fw-ohci.h is renamed to ohci.h. The name of core.h and
ohci.h is chosen with regard to name changes of the .c files in a
follow-up change.
