Merge tag 'firewire-updates-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394

Pull firewire updates from Takashi Sakamoto:

 - firewire drivers have been able to assign an arbitrary value in the
   mod_device entry, which is typed as kernel_ulong_t.

   While storing the pointer value is legitimate, conversion back to a
   pointer has been performed without preserving the const qualifier.

   Uwe Kleine-König introduced an union to provide safer and more robust
   conversions, as part of the ongoing CHERI enhancement work for ARM
   and RISC-V architectures. This includes changes to the sound
   subsystem, since the conversion pattern is widely used in ALSA
   firewire stack.

 - Userspace applications can request the core function to perform
   isochronous resource management procedures. Dingsoul reported a
   reference-count leak when these procedures are processed in workqueue
   contexts.

   This refactors the relevant code paths following a divide and conquer
   approach. Consequently, it became clear that the issue still remain
   in the path when userspace applications delegate automatic resource
   reallocation after bus resets to the core.

   In practice, the leak is rarely triggered, and a complete fix is
   still in progress.
