Like the older ieee1394 core driver, firewire-core skipped scanning of
any new node whose PHY sent a self ID without "link active" bit.  If a
device had this bit off mistakenly, it meant that it was inaccessible to
kernel drivers with the old IEEE 1394 driver stack but could still be
accessed by userspace drivers through the raw1394 interface.

But with firewire-core, userspace drivers don't get to see such buggy
devices anymore.  This is effectively a driver regression since this
device bug is otherwise harmless.

We now attempt to scan all devices, even repeaters that don't have a
link or powered-down devices that have everything but their PHY shut
down when plugged in.  This results in futile repeated scanning attempts
in case of such devices that really don't have an active link, but this
doesn't hurt since recent workqueue infrastructure lets us run more
concurrent scanning jobs than we can shake a stick at.

This should fix accessibility of Focusrite Saffire PRO 26 I/O:

The SPLIT_TIMEOUT mechanism is intended to detect requests that somehow
got lost.  However, when the timeout value is too low, transactions that
could have been completed successfully will be cancelled.  Furthermore,
there are chips whose firmwares ignore the configured split timeout and
send late split response; known examples are the DM1x00 (BeBoB), TCD22x0
(DICE), and some OXUF936QSE firmwares.

This patch changes the default timeout to two seconds, which happens to
be the default on other OSes, too.

Actual lost requests are extremely rare, so there should be no practical
downside to increasing the split timeout even on devices that work
correctly.

v3: cache the iPCR value
v4: FireWave constraints; fix fw_device reference counting;
    fix PCR caching; small changes and fixes
v5: volume/mute support; fix crashing due to pcm stop races
v6: fix build; one-channel volume for LaCie
v7: use signed values to make volume (range checks) work; fix function
    block IDs for volume/mute; always use channel 0 for LaCie volume

It seems drivers/firewire/ohci.c is making some optimistic assumptions
about struct fw_ohci and that member "card" will always remain the first
member of the struct.
Plus it's probably going to confuse a lot of static code analyzers too.

So I wonder if there is a good reason not to free the ohci struct just
like it was allocated instead of the tricky &amp;ohci-&gt;card way?

It is perhaps just a rudiment from before mainline submission of the
driver.

Since commit 82b662dc4102 "flush AT contexts after bus reset for OHCI 1.2",
the driver takes care of any AT packets that were enqueued during a bus
reset phase.  The check from commit 76f73ca1b291 is therefore no longer
necessary and the MMIO read can be avoided.

If a misguided program tried to start an isochronous context before it
has queued any packets, the call would appear to succeed, but the
context would not actually go into the running state, and the OHCI
controller would then raise an unrecoverableError interrupt because the
first Z value is zero and thus invalid.  The driver logs such errors,
but there is no mechanism to report this back to the program.

Add an explicit check so that this error can be returned synchronously.

To prevent the iso packet callback from being called after
fw_iso_context_stop() has returned, make sure that the
context's tasklet has finished executing before that.

This fixes access-after-free bugs that have so far been
observed only in the upcoming snd-firewire-speakers driver,
but can theoretically also happen in the firedtv driver.
