This cleans the STIR421x part of the irda-usb code. We also no longer
try to load all existing firmwares but only the matching one
(according to the USB id we get from the dongle).

Use NULL instead of 0 for a null pointer value (sparse warning):

Also, correct timeout argument to use milliseconds instead of jiffies.

In the STIR421x case, when the firmware upload fails, we need to
unregister_netdev. Otherwise we hit a BUG on free_netdev(), if sysfs
is enabled.

This patch enables support for the Sigmatel's STIR421x IrDA chip.
Once patched with Sigmatel's firmware, this chip "almost" follows the
USB-IrDA spec. Thus this patch is against irda-usb.[ch].
The code has been tested by Nick Fedchik on an STIR4210 chipset based
dongle.

Don't read from free'd memory after calling netif_rx(). docopy is used as
a boolean (0 and 1) so unsigned int is sufficient.

This patch fixes 2 bugs in the USB-IrDA code.
The first one is a buffer overrun in the RX path. We are now using
IRDA_SKB_MAX_MTU when initializing the Rx URB.
The second one is a potential stack recursion when unplugging the USB
dongle. It seems that first we get the Rx URB with a generic error
code, and after a while the Rx URB comes again with a "disconnect"
error code. Since we are resubmitting the Rx URB immediately after
receiving the first error one, we might enter an endless loop.
When getting an error Rx URB, the patch defers the Rx URB resubmitting
so that it gives us a chance to catch the disconnect one, in case the
dongle has juts been unplugged.
Tested against 2.6.16-rc2.

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
