Changes to the FireWire kernel drivers in Linux 3.8 and 3.9

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

Hi everyone,

Linux kernel 3.8 has been out for a few weeks already, and kernel 3.9 is
currently available as release candidate 4.  Here are release notes for
the firewire kernel drivers:

*Linux 3.8*

    firewire-net:
      - fix reception of fragmented multicast and broadcast datagrams 

    firewire-sbp2:
      - pass through thin provisioning related opcodes to SPC-3 devices 

    snd-scs1x:
      - New ALSA MIDI driver for Stanton SCS.1d and SCS.1m FireWire DJ
        controllers, written by Clemens Ladisch. (While MIDI is handled by
        the snd-scs1x driver, audio I/O with SCS.1m is handled by FFADO
        userspace drivers.) 

*Linux 3.9*

    Only some minor janitorial changes to the firewire subsystem went into
    this kernel.
