ALSA: fireface: add an abstraction layer for model-specific protocols

As of 2016, RME discontinued its Fireface series, thus it's OK for us
to focus on released firmwares to drive known units.

As long as investigating Fireface 400 with Windows driver and comparing
the result to FFADO implementation, I can see these firmwares have
different register assignments. On the other hand, according to manuals
of each models, features relevant to packet streaming seem to be common,
because GUIs for these models have the same options. It's reasonable to
assume an abstraction layer of protocols to communicate to each models.

This commit adds the abstraction layer for the protocols. This layer
includes some functions to operate common features of models in this
series.

In IEC 61883-1/6, the sequence of packet can transfer timing information
to synchronize receivers to transmitters. Units of each node on IEEE 1394
bus can generate transmitter's timing clock by handling value of SYT field
in CIP header with high-precision clock. For audio and music units on
IEEE 1394 bus, this recovered clock is designed to used for sampling clock
to capture/generate PCM frames on DSP/ADC/DAC. (Actually, in this world,
there's no units to implement this specification as is, as long as I
know).

Fireface series doesn't use this mechanism. Besides, It doesn't use
isochronous packet with CIP header. It uses internal crystal unit as its
initial sampling clock. When detecting input signals which can be
available for sampling clock (e.g. ADAT input), drivers can configure
units to use the signals as source of sampling clock. When something goes
wrong, e.g. frequency mismatching between the signal and configured value,
units fallback to the other detected signals alternatively. When detecting
no alternatives, internal crystal unit is used as source of sampling
clock. On manual of Fireface 400, this mechanism is described as
'Autosync'.

On the units, packet streaming is controlled by write transactions to
certain registers. Format of the packet, e.g. the number of data channels
in a data block, is also configured by the same manner. For this purpose,
.begin_session and .finish_session is added.

The remarkable point of this protocol is to allow drivers to configure
arbitrary sampling transmission frequency; e.g. 12.345 Hz. As long as I
know, there's no actual DAC/ADC chips which support this kind of
capability. I think a pair of packet streaming layer and data block
processing layer is isolated from sampling data processing layer in a
point of governed clock. In short, between these parts, resampling layer
exists. Actually, for Fireface 400, write transactions to
0x'0000'8010'051c has an effect to change sampling clock frequency with
base frequencies (32.0/44.1/48.0 kHz) and its multipliers (x2/x4),
regardless of sampling transmission frequency.

For this reason, the abstraction layer doesn't handle parameters for
sampling clock. Instead, each implementation of .begin_session is
expected to configure sampling transmission frequency.

For packet streaming layer, it's enough to get current selection of
source signals for the sampling clock and its frequency. In the
abstraction layer, when internal crystal is selected, drivers can sets
arbitrary sampling frequency, else they should follow configured
frequency. For this purpose, .get_clock is added.

Drivers are allows to bank up data fetching from a pair of packet
streaming/data block processing layer and sampling data processing layer.
This feature seems to suppress noises at starting/stopping packet
streaming. For this purpose, .switch_fetching_mode is added.

As I described in the above, units have remarkable mechanism to manage
sampling clock and process sampling data. For debugging purpose,
.dump_sync_status and .dump_clock_config are added. I don't have a need
to common interface to represent the status and configuration,
developers can add actual implementation of the abstraction layer as they
like.

Unlike PCM frames, MIDI messages are transferred by asynchronous
communication over IEEE 1394 bus, thus target addresses are important for
this feature. The .midi_high_addr_reg, .midi_rx_port_0_reg and
.midi_rx_port_1_reg are for this purpose. I'll describe them in following
commit.
