Using a single timeout for all transaction that need to be flushed does
not work if the submission of new transactions can defer the timeout
indefinitely into the future.  We need to have timeouts that do not
change due to other transactions; the simplest way to do this is with a
separate timer for each transaction.

Clemens Ladisch pointed out that
  - BIB_IMC is not named like the field is called in the standard,
  - readers of the code may get worried about the magic 0x0c0083c0,
  - a CSR_NODE_CAPABILITIES key is there in the header but not put to
    good use.

So let's rename BIB_IMC, add a defined constant for Node_Capabilities
and a comment which reassures people that somebody thought about it and
they don't have to (or if they still do, tell them where they have to
look for confirmation), and prune our incomplete and arbitrary set of
defined constants of CSR key IDs.  And there is a nother magic number,
that of Bus_Information_Block.Bus_Name, to be defined and commented.

Several config ROM related functions only peek at the ROM cache; mark
their arguments as const pointers.  Ditto fw_device.config_rom and
fw_unit.directory, as the memory behind them is meant to be write-once.

The core (sysfs attributes), the firedtv driver, and possible future
drivers all read strings from some configuration ROM directory.  Factor
out the generic code from show_text_leaf() into a new helper function,
modified slightly to handle arbitrary buffer sizes.

<title>firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow multiple FCP listeners</title>

<content type='text'>
Control of more than one AV/C device at once --- e.g. camcorders, tape
decks, audio devices, TV tuners --- failed or worked only unreliably,
depending on driver implementation.  This affected kernelspace and
userspace drivers alike and was caused by firewire-core's inability to
accept multiple registrations of FCP listeners.

The fix allows multiple address handlers to be registered for the FCP
command and response registers.  When a request for these registers is
received, all handlers are invoked, and the Firewire response is
generated by the core and not by any handler.

The cdev API does not change, i.e., userspace is still expected to send
a response for FCP requests; this response is silently ignored.

I was told that there are obscure architectures with non-coherent DMA
which may DMA-map to bus address 0.  We shall not use 0 as a magic
number of uninitialized bus address variables.

The packet-&gt;payload_length &gt; 0 test cannot be used either (except in
at_context_queue_packet) because local requests are not DMA-mapped
regardless of payload_length.  Hence add a state flag to struct
fw_packet.

The Topology Map of the local node was created in CPU byte order,
then a temporary big endian copy was created to compute the CRC,
and when a read request to the Topology Map arrived it had to be
converted to big endian byte order again.

We now generate it in big endian byte order in the first place.
This also rids us of 1000 bytes stack usage in tasklet context.

The config ROM image of the local node was created in CPU byte order,
then a temporary big endian copy was created to compute the CRC, and
finally the card driver created its own big endian copy.

We now generate it in big endian byte order in the first place to avoid
one byte order conversion and the temporary on-stack copy of the ROM
image (1000 bytes stack usage in process context).  Furthermore, two
1000 bytes memset()s are replaced by one 1000 bytes - ROM length sized
memset.

The trivial fw_memcpy_{from,to}_be32() helpers are now superfluous and
removed.  The newly added __compute_block_crc() function will be folded
into fw_compute_block_crc() in a subsequent change.
