Here is the final set of patches I used to get ffado to work with the
new firewire stack. With these patches, I was able to start ardour
and record from and playback to my PreSonus Inspire1394 from a
(mostly) Fedora 12 system.

Until now, firewire-ohci exposed only the transmit cycle of the last
transmitted packet at each isochronous transmit complete event. This
made it impossible for FFADO (FireWire audio drivers in userspace) to
synchronize audio-out streams. The fix is to store the timestamp of
each packet in the iso xmit event. As a bonus, the transfer status is
stored too.

Calling the START_ISO ioctl with a nonnegative cycle paramater has
never worked. Last night I got around to figuring out why. Most of
this patch is a big comment explaining why we enable an interrupt
source then don't actually do anything when we get one. As the
comment says, we should do more, but we don't have a way to tell
userspace what happened. . .

overflow)
The selfIDSize field of Self ID Count is 9 bits wide, and we are only
interested in the high 8 bits. Fix the mask accordingly. The
previously too large mask didn't do damage though because the next few
bits in the register are reserved and therefore zero with presently
existing hardware.
Also, check for the maximum possible self ID count of 252 (according to
OHCI 1.1 clause 11.2 and IEEE 1394a-2000 clause 4.3.4.1, i.e. up to four
self IDs of up to 63 nodes, even though IEEE 1394 up to edition 2008
defines only up to three self IDs per node). More than 252 self IDs
would only happen if the self ID receive DMA unit malfunctioned, which
would likely be caught by other self ID buffer checks. However, check
it early to be sure. More than 253 quadlets would overflow the Topology
Map CSR.

In dual-buffer DMA mode, no video frames are ever received from R5C832
by libdc1394. Fallback to packet-per-buffer DMA works reliably.

An Agere FW643 OHCI 1.1 card works fine for video reception from one
camera but fails early if receiving from two cameras. After a short
while, no IR IRQ events occur and the context control register does not
react anymore. This happens regardless whether both IR DMA contexts are
dual-buffer or one is dual-buffer and the other packet-per-buffer.
This can be worked around by disabling dual buffer DMA mode entirely.

(Reported by Samuel Audet.)
In another report (by Jonathan Cameron), an FW643 works OK with two
cameras in dual buffer mode. Whether this is due to different chip
revisions or different usage patterns (different video formats) is not
yet clear. However, as far as the current capabilities of
firewire-core's isochronous I/O interface are concerned, simply
switching off dual-buffer on non-working and working FW643s alike is not
a problem in practice. We only need to revisit this issue if we are
going to enhance the interface, e.g. so that applications can explicitly
choose modes.

The source files of firewire-core, firewire-ohci, firewire-sbp2, i.e.
"drivers/firewire/fw-*.c"
are renamed to
"drivers/firewire/core-*.c",
"drivers/firewire/ohci.c",
"drivers/firewire/sbp2.c".
The old fw- prefix was redundant to the directory name. The new core-
prefix distinguishes the files according to which driver they belong to.
This change comes a little late, but still before further firewire
drivers are added as anticipated RSN.
