In packet streaming protocol applied to TASCAM FireWire series, the value
of SYT field in CIP header is always zero, therefore it has no meaning.
There's no need to synchronize packets in both direction for the series.
In current implementation of ALSA firewire stack, driver for the series
uses incoming packet parameter for outgoing packet parameter to calculate
the number of data blocks. This can be simplified because the task of
corresponding driver is to transfer data blocks enough to sampling transfer
frequency.
This commit purges support of full duplex synchronization to prevent
over-engineering implementation.

This commit adds hwdep interface so as the other IEEE 1394 sound devices
has.
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 streaming functionality for both direction. To utilize
the sequence of the number of data blocks in packets, full duplex with
synchronization is applied.
Besides, TASCAM FireWire series allows drivers to decide which PCM data
channels are enabled. For convenience, this driver always enable whole the
data channels.
