firewire: core: add sysfs attribute for easier udev rules
This adds the attribute /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw[0-9]+/units. It can be used in udev rules like the following ones: # IIDC devices: industrial cameras and some webcams SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x00010?*", GROUP="video" # AV/C devices: camcorders, set-top boxes, TV sets, audio devices, ... SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x010001*", GROUP="video" Background: firewire-core manages two device types: - fw_device is a FireWire node. A character device file is associated with it. - fw_unit is a unit directory on a node. Each fw_device may have 0..n children of type fw_unit. The units tell us what kinds of protocols a node implements. We want to set ownership or ACLs or permissions of the character device file of an fw_device, or/and create symlinks to it, based on available protocols. Until now udev rules had to look at the fw_unit devices and then modify their parent's character device file accordingly. This is problematic for two reasons: 1) It happens sometime after the creation of the fw_device, 2) an access policy may require that information from all children is evaluated before a decision about the parent is made. Problem 1) can ultimately not be avoided since this is the nature of FireWire nodes: They may add or remove unit directories at any point in time. However, we can still help userland a lot by providing the protocol type information of all units in a summary sysfs attribute directly at the fw_device. This way, - the information is immediately available at the affected device when userspace goes about to handle an ADD or CHANGE event of the fw_device, - with most policies, it won't be necessary anymore to dig through child attributes. The new attribute is called "units". It contains space-separated tuples of specifier_id and version of each present unit. The delimiter within tuples is a colon. Specifier_id and version are printed as 0x%06x. Here is an example of a node which implements an IPv4 unit and an IPv6 unit: $ cat /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw2/units 0x00005e:0x000001 0x00005e:0x000002 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
