Changes to the FireWire kernel drivers in Linux 3.4

[Stefan R. <st...@s5...>]

Hi all,

Linux kernel 3.4 has been released last Sunday.  These are the IEEE 1394
related changes:

<linux/firewire-cdev.h> API:
  - Added FW_CDEV_IOC_FLUSH_ISO ioctl which lets an application get any
    currently completed isochronous packets reported.  A corresponding
    libraw1394 update to use this ioctl in raw1394_iso_recv_flush() has
    been committed to libraw1394.git too and will show up in the next
    libraw1394 release.

firewire-core, -net, -ohci, -sbp2:
  - All messages to the kernel log are now consistently prefixed by driver
    name and device name or number.

firewire-ohci:
  - Fix premature completion of multichannel isochronous reception DMA.
    Also fixed in kernel 3.3.1, 3.2.14, 3.0.27.
  - Fix missing completion notification in isochronous I/O in case of big
    intervals between interrupt packets or with big packet headers.

firewire-sbp2:
  - If the target's unit directory contains a Unit_Unique_ID entry, use it
    instead of the node unique ID as the target's GUID in the ieee1394_id
    sysfs attribute and consequently in udev's /dev/disk/by-id symbolic
    links.
  - Do not try to log into targets on the local node. I/O to such targets
    is not yet implemented, and local targets are probably meant to be
    accessed by remote initiators anyway.
  - Fix handling of SCSI sense data (deferred errors, Valid, Filemark,
    EOM, ILI).
