During packet streaming, maximum length of payload for isochronous packet
is invariable, therefore no need to recalculate. Current ALSA IEC 61883-1/6
engine calls a function to calculate it 8,000 or more times per second
for incoming packet processing.
This commit adds a member to have maximum length of payload into 'struct
amdtp_stream', to reduces the function calls. At first callback from
isochronous context, the length is calculated and stored for later
processing.

As long as investigating Fireface 400, IEC 61883-1/6 is not applied to
its packet streaming protocol. Remarks of the specific protocol are:
* Each packet doesn't include CIP headers.
* 64,0 and 128,0 kHz are supported.
* The device doesn't necessarily transmit 8,000 packets per second.
* 0, 1, 2, 3 are used as tag for rx isochronous packets, however 0 is
used for tx isochronous packets.
On the other hand, there's a common feature. The number of data blocks
transferred in a second is the same as sampling transmission frequency.
Current ALSA IEC 61883-1/6 engine already has a method to calculate it and
this driver can utilize it for rx packets, as well as tx packets.
This commit adds support for the transferring protocol. CIP_NO_HEADERS
flag is newly added. When this flag is set:
* Both of 0 (without CIP header) and 1 (with CIP header) are used as tag
to handle incoming isochronous packet.
* 0 (without CIP header) is used as tag to transfer outgoing isochronous
packet.
* Skip CIP header evaluation.
* Use unique way to calculate the quadlets of isochronous packet payload.
In ALSA PCM interface, 128.0 kHz is not supported, and the ALSA
IEC 61883-1/6 engine doesn't support 64.0 kHz. These modes are dropped.
The sequence of rx packet has a remarkable quirk about tag. This will be
described in later commits.

In IEC 61883-1, when two quadlets CIP header is used, the most significant
bit in second CIP header stands. However, packets from units with MOTU
protocol version 3 have a quirk without this flag. Current packet streaming
layer handles this as protocol error.
This commit adds a new enumeration constant for this quirk, to handle MOTU
protocol version 3.

In IEC 61883-1, CIP headers can have a SPH field. When a packet has 1 in
SPH field of its CIP header, the packet has a source packet headers. A
source packet header consists of 32 bit field (= 1 quadlet) and it
transfers time stamp, which is the same value as the lower 25 bits of the
IEEE 1394 CYCLE_TIMER register and the rest is zero.
This commit just supports source packet header field because IEC 61883-1
includes ambiguity the position of this header and its count. Each
protocol layer is allowed to have actual implementation according its
requirements.

Currently, packet streaming layer passes generated SYT value to data block
processing layer. However, this is not enough in a case that the data block
processing layer generates time stamps by its own ways.
For out-packet stream, the packet streaming layer guarantees 8,000 times
calls of data block processing layers per sec. Therefore, when cycle count
of the first packet is recorded, data block processing layers can calculate
own time stamps with the recorded value.
For the reason, this commit allows packet streaming layer to record the
first cycle count. Each data block processing layer can read the count by
accessing a member of structure for packet streaming layer.

These three commits were merged to improve PCM pointer granularity.
commit 76fb878948 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: taskletize the snd_pcm_period_elapsed() call")
commit e9148dddc3 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: flush completed packets when reading PCM position")
commit 92b862c7d6 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: optimize packet flushing")
The point of them is to handle queued packets not only in software IRQ
context of IR/IT contexts, but also in process context. As a result of
handling packets, period tasklet is scheduled when acrossing PCM period
boundary. This is to prevent recursive call of
'struct snd_pcm_ops.pointer()' in the same context.
When the pointer callback is executed in the process context, it's
better to avoid the second callback in the software IRQ context. The
software IRQ context runs immediately after scheduled in the process
context because few packets are queued yet.
For the aim, 'pointer_flush' is used, however it causes a race condition
between the process context and software IRQ context of IR/IT contexts.
Practically, this race is not so critical because it influences process
context to skip flushing queued packet and to get worse granularity of
PCM pointer. The race condition is quite rare but it should be improved
for stable service.
The similar effect can be achieved by using 'in_interrupt()' macro. This
commit obsoletes 'pointer_flush' with it.

In former commit, drivers in ALSA firewire stack always starts IT context
before IR context. If IR context starts after packets are transmitted by
peer unit, packet discontinuity may be detected because the context starts
in the middle of packet streaming. This situation is rare because IT
context usually starts immediately. However, it's better to solve this
issue. This is suppressed with CIP_SKIP_INIT_DBC_CHECK flag.
This commit enables the same feature as CIP_SKIP_INIT_DBC_CHECK.

In clause 6.3 of IEC 61883-6:2000, there's an explanation about processing
of presentation timestamp. In the clause, we can see "If a function block
receives a CIP, processes it and subsequently re-transmits it, then the
SYT of the outgoing CIP shall be the sum of the incoming SYT and the
processing delay." ALSA firewire stack has an implementation to partly
satisfy this specification. Developers assumed the stack to perform as an
Audio function block[1].
Following to the assumption, current implementation of ALSA firewire stack
use one software interrupt context to handle both of in/out packets. In
most case, this is processed in 1394 OHCI IR context independently of the
opposite context. Thus, this implementation uses longer CPU time in the
software interrupt context. This is not better for whole system.
Against the assumption, I confirmed that each ASIC for IEC 61883-1/6
doesn't necessarily expect it to the stack. Thus, current implementation
of ALSA firewire stack includes over-engineering.
This commit purges the implementation. As a result, packets of one
direction are handled in one software interrupt context and spends
minimum CPU time.

This commit moves the codes related to data block processing from packet
streaming layer to AM824 layer.
Each driver initializes amdtp stream structure for AM824 data block by
calling amdtp_am824_init(). Then, a memory block is allocated for AM824
specific structure. This memory block is released by calling
amdtp_stream_destroy().
When setting streaming parameters, it calls amdtp_am824_set_parameters().
When starting packet streaming, it calls amdtp_stream_start(). When
stopping packet streaming, it calls amdtp_stream_stop().

The value of FDF field in CIP header is protocol-dependent. Thus, it's
better to allow data block processing layer to decide the value in any
timing.
In AM824 data format, the value of FDF field in CIP header indicates
N-flag and Nominal Sampling Frequency Code (sfc). The N-flag is for
switching 'Clock-based rate control mode' and 'Command-based rate control
mode'. In our implementation, 'Clock-based rate control mode' is just
supported. Therefore, When sampling transfer frequency is decided, then
the FDF can be set.
This commit replaces 'amdtp_stream_set_parameters' with
'amdtp_am824_set_parameters' to set the FDF. This is the same timing
to decide the ration between the number of data blocks and the number of
PCM frames.
