Clemens Ladisch 13882a82ee firewire: optimize iso queueing by setting wake only after the last packet
When queueing iso packets, the run time is dominated by the two
MMIO accesses that set the DMA context's wake bit.  Because most
drivers submit packets in batches, we can save much time by
removing all but the last wakeup.

The internal kernel API is changed to require a call to
fw_iso_context_queue_flush() after a batch of queued packets.
The user space API does not change, so one call to
FW_CDEV_IOC_QUEUE_ISO must specify multiple packets to take
advantage of this optimization.

In my measurements, this patch reduces the time needed to queue
fifty skip packets from userspace to one sixth on a 2.5 GHz CPU,
or to one third at 800 MHz.

Clemens Ladisch ec00f5e444 ALSA: firewire-lib, firewire-speakers: handle packet queueing errors
Add an AMDTP stream error state that occurs when we fail to queue
another packet.  In this case, the stream is stopped, and the error can
be reported when the application tries to restart the PCM stream.

Clemens Ladisch be45436632 ALSA: firewire-lib: use no-info SYT for packets without SYT sample
In non-blocking mode, the SYT_INTERVAL is larger than the number of
audio frames in each packet, so there are packets that do not contain
any frame to which the SYT could be applied.  For these packets, the
SYT must not be the timestamp of the next valid SYT frame, but the
special no-info SYT value.

This fixes broken playback on the FireWave at 44.1 kHz.

Clemens Ladisch 31ef9134eb ALSA: add LaCie FireWire Speakers/Griffin FireWave Surround driver
Add a driver for two playback-only FireWire devices based on the OXFW970
chip.

v2: better AMDTP API abstraction; fix fw_unit leak; small fixes
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
