firewire: fw-ohci: Bug fixes for packet-per-buffer support
This patch corrects a number of bugs in the current OHCI 1.0 packet-per-buffer support: 1. Correctly deal with payloads that cross a page boundary. The previous version would not split the descriptor at such a boundary, potentially corrupting unrelated memory. 2. Allow user-space to specify multiple packets per struct fw_cdev_iso_packet in the same way that dual-buffer allows. This is signaled by header_length being a multiple of header_size. This multiple determines the number of packets. The payload size allocated per packet is determined by dividing the total payload size by the number of packets. 3. Make sync support work properly for packet-per-buffer. I have tested this patch with libdc1394 by forcing my OHCI 1.1 controller to use the packet-per-buffer support instead of dual-buffer. I would greatly appreciate testing by those who have a DV devices and other types of iso streamers to make sure I didn't cause any regressions. Stefan, with this patch, I'm hoping that libdc1394 will work with all your OHCI 1.0 controllers now. The one bit of future work that remains for packet-per-buffer support is the automatic compaction of short payloads that I discussed with Kristian.
