Unique protocol is used for MOTU FireWire series. In this protocol,
data block format is not compliant to AM824 in IEC 61883-1/6. Each of
the data block consists of 24 bit data chunks, except for a first
quadlet. The quadlet is used for source packet header (SPH) described
in IEC 61883-1.
The sequence of SPH seems to represent presentation timestamp
corresponding to included data. Developers have experienced that invalid
sequence brings disorder of units in the series.
Unfortunately, current implementation of ALSA IEC 61883-1/6 engine and
firewire-motu driver brings periodical noises to the units at sampling
transmission frequency based on 44.1 kHz. The engine generates the SPH with
even interval and this mechanism seems not to be suitable to the units.
Further work is required for this issue and infrastructure is preferable
to assist the work.
This commit adds tracepoints for the purpose. In the tracepoints, events
are probed to gather the SPHs from each data blocks.

MOTU 828mk3 (FireWire/Hybrid) is one of third generation in MOTU FireWire
series, produced in 2008/2014. This model consists of three chips for
functionality on IEEE 1394 bus:
* TI TSB41AB2 (Physical layer for IEEE 1394 bus)
* Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA Family (Link layer for IEEE 1394 bus, packet
processing and data block processing layer)
* TI TMS320C6722 (Digital signal processing)
This commit adds a support for this model, with its unique protocol as
version 3. This protocol has some additional features to protocol
version 2.
* Support several optical interfaces.
* Support a data chunk for return of reverb effect.
* Have a quirk of tx packets.
* Support heartbeat asynchronous transaction.
In this protocol, series of transferred packets has some quirks. Below
fields in CIP headers of the packets are out of IEC 61883-1:
- SID (source node id): always 0x0d
- DBS (data block size): always 0x04
- DBC (data block counter): always 0x00
- EOH (End of header): always 0x00
Below is an actual sample of transferred packets.
quads CIP1 CIP2
520 0x0D040400 0x22FFFFFF
8 0x0D040400 0x22FFFFFF
520 0x0D040400 0x22FFFFFF
520 0x0D040400 0x22FFFFFF
8 0x0D040400 0x22FFFFFF
Status of clock is configured by write transactions to 0x'ffff'f000'0b14,
as well as version 2, while meanings of fields are different from the
former protocols. Modes of optical interfaces are configured by write
transactions to 0x'ffff'f000'0c94.
Drivers can register its address to receive heatbeat transactions from the
unit. 0x'ffff'f000'0b0c is for the higher part and 0x'ffff'f000'0b10 is
for the lower part. Nevertheless, this feature is not useless for this
driver and this commit omits it.
Each data block consists of two parts in a point of the number of included
data chunks. In both of 'fixed' and 'differed' parts, the number of
included data blocks are a multiple of 4, thus depending on models there's
some empty data chunks. For example, 828mk3 includes one pair of empty
data chunks in its fixed part. When optical interface is configured to
S/PDIF, 828mk3 includes one pair of empty data chunks in its differed part.
To reduce consumption of CPU cycles with additional conditions/loops, this
commit just exposes these empty chunks to user space as PCM channels.
Additionally, 828mk3 has a non-negligible overhead to change its sampling
transfer frequency. When softwares send asynchronous transaction to
perform it, LED on the unit starts to blink. In a worst case, it continues
blink during several seconds; e.g. 10 seconds. When stopping blinking,
the unit seems to be prepared for the requested sampling transfer
frequency. To wait for the preparation, this commit forces the driver
to call task scheduler and applications sleeps for 4 seconds.

This commit adds hwdep interface so as the other sound drivers for units
on IEEE 1394 bus have.
This interface is designed for mixer/control applications. By using this
interface, an application can get information about firewire node, can
lock/unlock kernel streaming and can get notification at starting/stopping
kernel streaming.

In MOTU FireWire series, MIDI messages are multiplexed to isochronous
packets as well as PCM frames, while the way is different from the one
in IEC 61883-6.
MIDI messages are put into a certain position in message chunks. One data
block can includes one byte of the MIDI messages. When data block includes
a MIDI byte, the block has a flag in a certain position of the message
chunk. These positions are unique depending on protocols.
Once a data block includes a MIDI byte, some following data blocks includes
no MIDI bytes. Next MIDI byte appears on a data block corresponding to
next cycle of physical MIDI bus. This seems to avoid buffer overflow caused
by bandwidth differences between IEEE 1394 bus and physical MIDI bus.
This commit adds MIDI functionality to transfer/receive MIDI messages.

This commit adds PCM functionality to transmit/receive PCM samples.
When one of PCM substreams are running or external clock source is
selected, current sampling rate is used. Else, the sampling rate is
changed according to requests from a userspace application.
Available number of samples in a frame of PCM substream is determined at
open(2) to corresponding PCM character device. Later, packet streaming
starts by ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE. In theory, between them,
applications can change state of the unit by any write transaction to
change the number. In this case, this driver may fail packet streaming due
to wrong data format.

This commit adds a functionality to manage packet streaming for MOTU
FireWire series.
The streaming is not controlled by CMP, thus against IEC 61883-1. Write
transaction to certain addresses start/stop packet streaming.
Transactions to 0x'ffff'f000'0b00 results in isochronous channel number for
both directions and starting/stopping transmission of packets. The
isochronous channel number is represented in 6 bit field, thus units can
identify the channels up to 64, as IEEE 1394 bus specification described.
Transactions to 0x'ffff'f000'0b10 results in packet format for both
directions and transmission speed. When each of data block includes fixed
part of data chunks only, corresponding flags stand.
When bus reset occurs, the units continue to transmit packets with
non-contiguous data block counter. This causes discontinuity detection in
packet streaming engine and ALSA PCM applications receives EPIPE from any
I/O operation. In this case, typical applications manage to recover
corresponding PCM substream. This behaviour is kicked much earlier than
callback of bus reset handler by Linux FireWire subsystem, therefore
status of packet streaming is not changed in the handler.

All models of MOTU FireWire series can be controlled by write transaction
to addresses in a range from 0x'ffff'f0000'0b00 to 0x'ffff'f000'0cff.
The models support asynchronous notification. This notification has 32 bit
field data, and is transferred when status of clock changes. Meaning of
the value is not enough clear yet.
Drivers can register its address to receive the notification. Write
transaction to 0x'ffff'f000'0b04 registers higher 16 bits of the address.
Write transaction to 0x'ffff'f0000'0b08 registers the rest of bits. The
address includes node ID, thus it should be registered every time of bus
reset.

MOTU FireWire series uses blocking transmission for AMDTP packet streaming.
They transmit/receive 8,000 packets per second, to handle the same number
of data blocks as current sampling transmission frequency. Thus,
IEC 61883-1/6 packet streaming engine of ALSA firewire stack is available
for them.
However, the sequence of packet and data blocks includes some quirks.
Below sample is a sequence of CIP headers of packets received by 828mk2,
at 44.1kHz of sampling transmission frequency.
quads CIP1 CIP2
488 0x020F04E8 0x8222FFFF
8 0x020F04F8 0x8222FFFF
488 0x020F0400 0x8222FFFF
488 0x020F0408 0x8222FFFF
8 0x020F04E8 0x8222FFFF
488 0x020F04F0 0x8222FFFF
488 0x020F04F8 0x8222FFFF
The SID (source node ID), DBS (data block size), SPH (source packet header),
FMT (format ID), FDF (format dependent field) and SYT (time stamp) fields
are in IEC 61883-1. Especially, FMT is 0x02, FDF is 0x22 and SYT is 0xffff
to define MOTU specific protocol. In an aspect of dbc field, the value
represents accumulated number of data blocks included the packet. This
is against IEC 61883-1, because according to the specification this value
should be the number of data blocks already transferred.
In ALSA IEC 61883-1/6 engine, this quirk is already supported by
CIP_DBC_IS_END_EVENT flag, because Echo Audio Fireworks has.
Each data block includes SPH as its first quadlet field, to represent its
presentation time stamp. Actual value of SPH is compliant to IEC 61883-1;
lower 25 bits of 32 bits width consists of 13 bits cycle count and 12 bits
cycle offset.
The rest of each data block consists of 24 bit chunks. All of PCM samples,
MIDI messages, status and control messages are transferred by the chunks.
This is similar to '24-bit * 4 Audio Pack' in IEC 61883-6. The position of
each kind of data depends on generations of each model. The number of
whole chunks in a data block is a multiple of 4, to consists of
quadlet-aligned packets.
This commit adds data block processing layer specific for the MOTU
protocol. The remarkable point is the way to generate SPH header. Time
stamps for each data blocks are generated by below calculation:
* Using pre-computed table for the number of ticks per event
* 44,1kHz: (557 + 123/441)
* 48.0kHz: (512 + 0/441)
* 88.2kHz: (278 + 282/441)
* 96.0kHz: (256 + 0/441)
* 176.4kHz: (139 + 141/441)
* 192.0kHz: (128 + 0/441)
* Accumulate the ticks and set the value to SPH for every events.
* This way makes sense only for blocking transmission because this mode
transfers fixed number or none of events.
This calculation assumes that each data block has a PCM frame which is
sampled according to event timing clock. Current packet streaming layer
has the same assumption.
Although this sequence works fine for MOTU FireWire series at sampling
transmission frequency based on 48.0kHz, it is not enough at the frequency
based on 44.1kHz. The units generate choppy noise every few seconds.
