Among else, this allows projects like libdc1394 to carry copies of the
ABI related header files without them or distributors having to worry
about effects on the project's overall license terms. Switch to MIT
license as suggested by Kristian. Also update the year in the
copyright statement according to source history.

The system time from CLOCK_REALTIME is not monotonic, hence problematic
for the main user of the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER ioctl. This issue
exists in its successor ABI, i.e. raw1394, too.
http://subversion.ffado.org/ticket/242
We now offer an alternative ioctl which lets the caller choose between
CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW as source of
the local time, very similar to the clock_gettime libc function. The
format of the local time return value matches that of clock_gettime
(seconds and nanoseconds, instead of a single microseconds value from
the existing ioctl).

Control of more than one AV/C device at once --- e.g. camcorders, tape
decks, audio devices, TV tuners --- failed or worked only unreliably,
depending on driver implementation. This affected kernelspace and
userspace drivers alike and was caused by firewire-core's inability to
accept multiple registrations of FCP listeners.
The fix allows multiple address handlers to be registered for the FCP
command and response registers. When a request for these registers is
received, all handlers are invoked, and the Firewire response is
generated by the core and not by any handler.
The cdev API does not change, i.e., userspace is still expected to send
a response for FCP requests; this response is silently ignored.

This changes the as yet unreleased FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_STREAM_PACKET ioctl
to generate an fw_cdev_event_response event just like the other two
ioctls for asynchronous request transmission do. This way, clients get
feedback on successful or unsuccessful transmission.
This also adds input validation for length, tag, channel, sy, speed.

The access permissions and ownership or ACL of /dev/fw* character device
files will typically be set based on the device type of the respective
nodes, as obtained by firewire-core from descriptors in the device's
configuration ROM. An example policy is to deny write permission by
default but grant write permission to files of AV/C video and audio
devices and IIDC video devices.
The FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR ioctl could be used to partly subvert
such a policy: Find a device file with relaxed permissions, use the
ioctl to add a descriptor with AV/C marker to the local node's ROM, thus
gain access to the local node's character device file. (This is only
possible if there are udev scripts installed which actively relax
permissions for known device types and if there is a device of such a
type connected.)
Accessibility of the local node's device file is relevant to host
security if the host contains two or more IEEE 1394 link layer
controllers which are plugged into a single bus.
Therefore change the ABI to deny FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR if the file
belongs to a remote node. (This change has no impact on known
implementers of the ABI: None of them uses the ioctl yet.)
Also clarify the documentation: The ioctl affects all local nodes, not
just one local node.

Some fixes:
- Remove stale documentation.
- Fix a != vs. == thinko that got in the way of channel management.
- Try bandwidth deallocation even if channel deallocation failed.
A simplification:
- fw_cdev_allocate_iso_resource.channels is now ordered like
libdc1394's dc1394_iso_allocate_channel() channels_allowed
argument.
By the way, I looked closer at cards from NEC, TI, and VIA, and noticed
that they all don't implement IEEE 1394a behaviour which is meant to
deviate from IEEE 1212's notion of lock compare-swap. This means that
we have to do two lock transactions instead of one in many cases where
one transaction would already succeed on a fully 1394a compliant IRM.

Subject: firewire: Include iso timestamp in headers when header_size > 4
Side note: The lack of upwards compatibility sounds worse than it is.
All existing client implementations, libraw1394 and libdc1394, set
header_size = 4. And since the ABI v1 behaviour does not offer any
advantages over the new behaviour, we deliberately do not provide the
old behaviour anymore.
Also add documentation about the format of fw_cdev_get_cycle_timer which
may be used in conjunction with the timestamp of iso packets but has a
different format.

Write transactions to the broadcast node ID are a convenient way to

While the speed of asynchronous transactions is automatically chosen by
the kernel, the speed of isochronous streams has to be chosen by the
initiating client.
In case of 1394a bus topologies, the maximum possible speed could be
figured out with some effort by evaluation of the remote node's link
speed field in the config ROM, the local node's link speed field, and
the PHY speeds and topologic information in the local node's or IRM's
topology map CSR. However, this does not work in case of 1394b buses.
Hence add an ioctl to export the maximum speed which the kernel already
determined.

This adds ioctls for allocation and deallocation of a channel or/and
bandwidth without auto-reallocation and without auto-deallocation.
The benefit of these ioctls is that libraw1394-style isochronous
resource management can be implemented without write access to the IRM's
character device file.

Subject: [Patch V4] Add ISO resource management support
with several changes to the ABI and implementation. Only the part of
the ABI which enables auto-reallocation and auto-deallocation is
included here.
This implements ioctls for kernel-assisted allocation of isochronous
channels and isochronous bandwidth. The benefits are:
- The client does not have to have write access to the /dev/fw* device
corresponding to the IRM.
- The client does not have to perform reallocation after bus resets.
- Channel and bandwidth are deallocated by the kernel if the file is
closed before the client deallocated the resources. Thus resources
are released even if the client crashes.
It is anticipated that future in-kernel code (firewire-core IRM code;
the firewire port of firedtv), will use the fw-iso.c portions of this
code too.

The FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl looks at client->device->config_rom, not
at the local node's config ROM.
We could fix the implementation or the documentation. I believe the way
how it is currently implemented is more useful than the way how it is
currently documented. In fact, libdc1394 uses the ABI already as
implemented, not as documented. Hence let's change the documentation.
