Fireface UFX was shipped by RME GmbH in 2012. This model supports later
protocol for management of isochronous communication and synchronization
of sampling transmission frequency.
This commit adds support for the model. At present, it's not clear how
to encode MIDI messages and decide destination address for asynchronous
transaction, thus this commit adds support for isochronous communication
for PCM frames only.

Fireface 800 is a flagship model of RME GmbH for audio and music units
on IEEE 1394 bus, shipped 2004. This model consists of four chips:
- TI TSB81BA3D for physical layer on cable environment of EEE 1394 bus
- TI TSB82AA2 for link layer for 1394 OHCI bus bridge to PCI bus
- Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA XC3S400
- Xilinx High-Performance CPLD XC9572XL
This commit adds support Fireface 800. In this time, the support is
restricted to its MIDI functionality, thus this commit adds some
condition statements to avoid touching streaming functionality.
Unlike Fireface 400, Fireface 800 has no functionality to suppress
asynchronous transactions for MIDI messages except for unregister of
listen address in controller side, thus the feature is available as is.

Fireface 400 is a second model of RME Fireface series, released in 2006.
This commit adds support for this model.
This model supports 8 analog channels, 2 S/PDIF channels and 8 ADAT
channels in both of tx/rx packet. The number of ADAT channels differs
depending on each mode of sampling transmission frequency.

This commit adds hwdep interface so as the other drivers for audio and
music units on IEEE 1394 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.

This commit adds PCM functionality to transmit/receive PCM frames on
isochronous packet streaming. This commit enables userspace applications
to start/stop packet streaming via ALSA PCM interface.
Sampling rate requested by applications is used as sampling transmission
frequency of IEC 61883-1/6packet streaming. As I described in followed
commits, units in this series manages sampling clock frequency
independently of sampling transmission frequency, and they supports
resampling between their packet streaming/data block processing layer and
sampling data processing layer. This commit take this driver to utilize
these features for usability.
When internal clock is selected as source signal of sampling clock, this
driver allows user space applications to start PCM substreams at any rate
which packet streaming engine supports as sampling transmission frequency.
In this case, this driver expects units to perform resampling PCM frames
for rx/tx packets when sampling clock frequency and sampling transmission
frequency are mismatched. This is for daily use cases.
When any external clock is selected as the source signal, this driver
gets configured sampling rate from units, then restricts available
sampling rate to the rate for PCM applications. This is for studio use
cases.
Models in this series supports 64.0/128.0 kHz of sampling rate, however
these frequencies are not supported by IEC 61883-6 as sampling transmission
frequency. Therefore, packet streaming engine of ALSA firewire stack can't
handle them. When units are configured to use any external clock as source
signal of sampling clock and one of these unsupported rate is configured
as rate of the sampling clock, this driver returns EIO to user space
applications.
Anyway, this driver doesn't voluntarily configure parameters of sampling
clock. It's better for users to work with appropriate user space
implementations to configure the parameters in advance of usage.

This commit adds management functionality for packet streaming.
As long as investigating Fireface 400, there're three modes depending
on sampling transmission frequency. The number of data channels in each
data block is different depending on the mode. The set of available
data channels for each mode might be different for each protocol and
model.
The length of registers for the number of isochronous channel is just
three bits, therefore 0-7ch are available.
When bus reset occurs on IEEE 1394 bus, the device discontinues to
transmit packets. This commit aborts PCM substreams at bus reset handler.
As I described in followed commits, The device manages its sampling clock
independently of sampling transmission frequency against IEC 61883-6.
Thus, it's a lower cost to change the sampling transmission frequency,
while data fetch between streaming layer and DSP require larger buffer
for resampling. As a result, device latency might tend to be larger than
ASICs for IEC 61883-1/6 such as DM1000/DM1100/DM1500 (BeBoB),
DiceII/TCD2210/TCD2220/TCD3070 and OXFW970/971.

As long as investigating Fireface 400, format of payload of each
isochronous packet is not IEC 61883-1/6, thus its format of data block
is not AM824. The remarkable points of the format are:
* The payload just consists of some data channels of quadlet size without
CIP header.
* Each data channels includes data aligned to little endian order.
* One data channel consists of two parts; 8 bit ancillary field and 24 bit
PCM frame.
Due to lack of CIP headers, rx/tx packets include no CIP headers and
different way to check packet discontinuity. For tx packet, the ancillary
field is used for counter. However, the way of counting is different
depending on positions of data channels. At 44.1 kHz, ancillary field in:
* 1st/6th/9th/10th/14th/17th data channels: not used for this purpose.
* 2nd/18th data channels: incremented every data block (0x00-0xff).
* 3rd/4th/5th/11th/12th/13th data channels: incremented every 256 data
blocks (0x00-0x07).
* 7th/8th/15th/16th data channels: incremented per the number of data
blocks in a packet. The increment can occur per packet (0x00-0xff).
For tx packet, tag of each isochronous packet is used for this purpose.
The value of tag cyclically changes between 0, 1, 2 and 3 in this order.
The interval is different depending on sampling transmission frequency.
At 44.1/48.0 kHz, it's 256 data blocks. At 88.2 kHz, it's 96 data blocks.
The number of data blocks in tx packet is exactly the same as
SYT_INTERVAL. There's no empty packet or no-data packet, thus the
throughput is not 8,000 packets per sec. On the other hand, the one in
rx packet is 8,000 packets per sec, thus the number of data blocks is
different between each packet, depending on sampling transmission
frequency:
* 44.1 kHz: 5 or 6
* 48.0 kHz: 5 or 6 or 7
* 88.2 kHz: 10 or 11 or 12
This commit adds data processing layer to satisfy the above specification
in a policy of 'best effort'. Although PCM frames are handled for
intermediate buffer to user space, the ancillary data is not handled at all
to reduce CPU usage, thus counter is not checked. 0 is always used for tag
of isochronous packet. Furthermore, the packet streaming layer is
responsible for calculation of the number of data blocks for each packet,
thus it's not exactly the same sequence from the above observation.

for MIDI feature. This commit adds MIDI functionality for userspace
applications.
As I wrote in a followed commit, user space applications get some
requirement from this driver. It should not touch a register to which
units transmit MIDI messages. It should configure a register in which
MIDI transmission is controlled.

As long as investigating Fireface 400, MIDI messages are transferred by
asynchronous communication over IEEE 1394 bus.
Fireface 400 receives MIDI messages by write transactions to two addresses;
0x'0000'0801'8000 and 0x'0000'0801'9000. Each of two seems to correspond to
MIDI port 1 and 2.
Fireface 400 transfers MIDI messages by write transactions to certain
addresses which configured by drivers. The drivers can decide upper 4 byte
of the addresses by write transactions to 0x'0000'0801'03f4. For the rest
part of the address, drivers can select from below options:
* 0x'0000'0000
* 0x'0000'0080
* 0x'0000'0100
* 0x'0000'0180
Selected options are represented in register 0x'0000'0801'051c as bit
flags. Due to this mechanism, drivers are restricted to use addresses on
'Memory space' of IEEE 1222, even if transactions to the address have
some side effects.
This commit adds transaction support for MIDI messaging, based on my
assumption that the similar mechanism is used on the other protocols. To
receive asynchronous transactions, the driver allocates a range of address
in 'Memory space'. I apply a strategy to use 0x'0000'0000 as lower 4 byte
of the address. When getting failure from Linux FireWire subsystem, this
driver retries to allocate addresses.
Unfortunately, read transaction to address 0x'0000'0801'051c returns zero
always, however write transactions have effects to the other features such
as status of sampling clock. For this reason, this commit delegates a task
to configure this register to user space applications. The applications
should set 3rd bit in LSB in little endian order.

This commit adds a new driver for RME Fireface series. This commit just
creates/removes card instance according to IEEE 1394 bus event. More
functions will be added in following commits.
Three types of firmware have released by RME GmbH; for Fireface 400, for
Fireface 800 and for UCX/802/UFX. It's reasonable that these models use
different protocol for communication. Currently, I've investigated
