[PATCH v2 0/8] firewire: core: support legacy layout of configuration ROM for AV/C device

[Takashi S. <o-t...@sa...>]

Hi,

This series of change is take 2 of my previous post[1].

Current core function of Linux FireWire subsystem has support for legacy
layout of configuration ROM, described in annex of 1394TA document[2].
However, in a point of device attributes (e.g. nodes in sysfs), there
are differences between devices with the legacy and standard layout of
configuration ROM. The differences bring some inconveniences to users[3].
The series includes changes to solve them.

The series includes changes relevant to driver matching procedure and
notification to user space, thus could easily bring functional regression.
For safe, the series includes some KUnit applications to test the change.

However, backward incompatibility is inevitable due to change of modalias
for device corresponding to unit. As long as I investigated, any unit
drivers in kernel are not affected by the change. Additionally, less
applications in user space are not as well. I think we can be optimistic
to the regression.

Changes from v1 series:
* fix evaluation of uninitialized variable in 7th patch
