In MOTU FireWire series, MIDI messages are multiplexed to isochronous
packets as well as PCM frames, while the way is different from the one
in IEC 61883-6.
MIDI messages are put into a certain position in message chunks. One data
block can includes one byte of the MIDI messages. When data block includes
a MIDI byte, the block has a flag in a certain position of the message
chunk. These positions are unique depending on protocols.
Once a data block includes a MIDI byte, some following data blocks includes
no MIDI bytes. Next MIDI byte appears on a data block corresponding to
next cycle of physical MIDI bus. This seems to avoid buffer overflow caused
by bandwidth differences between IEEE 1394 bus and physical MIDI bus.
This commit adds MIDI functionality to transfer/receive MIDI messages.

This commit adds PCM functionality to transmit/receive PCM samples.
When one of PCM substreams are running or external clock source is
selected, current sampling rate is used. Else, the sampling rate is
changed according to requests from a userspace application.
Available number of samples in a frame of PCM substream is determined at
open(2) to corresponding PCM character device. Later, packet streaming
starts by ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE. In theory, between them,
applications can change state of the unit by any write transaction to
change the number. In this case, this driver may fail packet streaming due
to wrong data format.

This commit adds a functionality to manage packet streaming for MOTU
FireWire series.
The streaming is not controlled by CMP, thus against IEC 61883-1. Write
transaction to certain addresses start/stop packet streaming.
Transactions to 0x'ffff'f000'0b00 results in isochronous channel number for
both directions and starting/stopping transmission of packets. The
isochronous channel number is represented in 6 bit field, thus units can
identify the channels up to 64, as IEEE 1394 bus specification described.
Transactions to 0x'ffff'f000'0b10 results in packet format for both
directions and transmission speed. When each of data block includes fixed
part of data chunks only, corresponding flags stand.
When bus reset occurs, the units continue to transmit packets with
non-contiguous data block counter. This causes discontinuity detection in
packet streaming engine and ALSA PCM applications receives EPIPE from any
I/O operation. In this case, typical applications manage to recover
corresponding PCM substream. This behaviour is kicked much earlier than
callback of bus reset handler by Linux FireWire subsystem, therefore
status of packet streaming is not changed in the handler.

All models of MOTU FireWire series can be controlled by write transaction
to addresses in a range from 0x'ffff'f0000'0b00 to 0x'ffff'f000'0cff.
The models support asynchronous notification. This notification has 32 bit
field data, and is transferred when status of clock changes. Meaning of
the value is not enough clear yet.
Drivers can register its address to receive the notification. Write
transaction to 0x'ffff'f000'0b04 registers higher 16 bits of the address.
Write transaction to 0x'ffff'f0000'0b08 registers the rest of bits. The
address includes node ID, thus it should be registered every time of bus
reset.

MOTU FireWire series uses blocking transmission for AMDTP packet streaming.
They transmit/receive 8,000 packets per second, to handle the same number
of data blocks as current sampling transmission frequency. Thus,
IEC 61883-1/6 packet streaming engine of ALSA firewire stack is available
for them.
However, the sequence of packet and data blocks includes some quirks.
Below sample is a sequence of CIP headers of packets received by 828mk2,
at 44.1kHz of sampling transmission frequency.
quads CIP1 CIP2
488 0x020F04E8 0x8222FFFF
8 0x020F04F8 0x8222FFFF
488 0x020F0400 0x8222FFFF
488 0x020F0408 0x8222FFFF
8 0x020F04E8 0x8222FFFF
488 0x020F04F0 0x8222FFFF
488 0x020F04F8 0x8222FFFF
The SID (source node ID), DBS (data block size), SPH (source packet header),
FMT (format ID), FDF (format dependent field) and SYT (time stamp) fields
are in IEC 61883-1. Especially, FMT is 0x02, FDF is 0x22 and SYT is 0xffff
to define MOTU specific protocol. In an aspect of dbc field, the value
represents accumulated number of data blocks included the packet. This
is against IEC 61883-1, because according to the specification this value
should be the number of data blocks already transferred.
In ALSA IEC 61883-1/6 engine, this quirk is already supported by
CIP_DBC_IS_END_EVENT flag, because Echo Audio Fireworks has.
Each data block includes SPH as its first quadlet field, to represent its
presentation time stamp. Actual value of SPH is compliant to IEC 61883-1;
lower 25 bits of 32 bits width consists of 13 bits cycle count and 12 bits
cycle offset.
The rest of each data block consists of 24 bit chunks. All of PCM samples,
MIDI messages, status and control messages are transferred by the chunks.
This is similar to '24-bit * 4 Audio Pack' in IEC 61883-6. The position of
each kind of data depends on generations of each model. The number of
whole chunks in a data block is a multiple of 4, to consists of
quadlet-aligned packets.
This commit adds data block processing layer specific for the MOTU
protocol. The remarkable point is the way to generate SPH header. Time
stamps for each data blocks are generated by below calculation:
* Using pre-computed table for the number of ticks per event
* 44,1kHz: (557 + 123/441)
* 48.0kHz: (512 + 0/441)
* 88.2kHz: (278 + 282/441)
* 96.0kHz: (256 + 0/441)
* 176.4kHz: (139 + 141/441)
* 192.0kHz: (128 + 0/441)
* Accumulate the ticks and set the value to SPH for every events.
* This way makes sense only for blocking transmission because this mode
transfers fixed number or none of events.
This calculation assumes that each data block has a PCM frame which is
sampled according to event timing clock. Current packet streaming layer
has the same assumption.
Although this sequence works fine for MOTU FireWire series at sampling
transmission frequency based on 48.0kHz, it is not enough at the frequency
based on 44.1kHz. The units generate choppy noise every few seconds.

In an aspect of used protocols to communicate, models of MOTU FireWire
units are categorized to three generations.
This commit adds an abstraction layer of the protocols for features
related to packet streaming functionality. This layer includes 5
operations.
When configuring packet streaming functionality with sampling rate and
sampling transmission frequency, .get_clock_rate and .set_clock_rate are
called with proper arguments. MOTU FireWire series supports up to 192.0kHz.
When checking current source of sampling clock (not clock for packetization
layer), .get_clock_source is used. Enumeration is added to represent the
sources supported by this series. This operation can be used to expose
available sampling rate to user space applications when the unit is
configured to use any input signal as source of clock instead of crystal
clock.
In the protocols, the path between packet processing layer and digital
signal processing layer can be controlled. This looks a functionality to
'mute' the unit. For this feature, .switch_fetching_mode is added. This
can be used to suppress noises every time packet streaming starts/stops.
In a point of the size of data blocks at a certain sampling transmission
frequency, the most units accept several modes. This is due to usage of
optical interfaces. The size differs depending on which modes are
configured to the interfaces; None, S/PDIF and ADAT. Additionally, format
of packet is different depending on protocols. To cache current size of
data blocks and its format, .cache_packet_formats is added. This is used
by PCM functionality, packet streaming functionality and data block
processing layer.

MOTU FireWire series doesn't tell drivers their capabilities, thus
the drivers should have and apply model-dependent parameters to detected
models.
This commit adds a structure to represent such parameters. Capabilities
are represented by enumeration except for the number of analog line
in/out. Identification name also be in the structure because the units has
no registers for this purpose.

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.
