ALSA: firewire-lib: add helper functions for asynchronous transactions to transfer MIDI messages
Some models receive MIDI messages via IEEE 1394 asynchronous transactions.
In this case, MIDI messages are transferred in fixed-length payload. It's
nice that firewire-lib module has common helper functions.
This commit implements this idea. Each driver adds
'struct snd_fw_async_midi_port' in its instance structure. In probing,
it should call snd_fw_async_midi_port_init() to initialize the
structure with some parameters such as target address, the length
of payload in a transaction and a pointer for callback function
to fill the payload buffer. At 'struct snd_rawmidi_ops.trigger()'
callback, it should call 'snd_fw_async_midi_port_run()' to start
transactions. Each driver should ensure that the lifetime of MIDI
substream continues till calling 'snd_fw_async_midi_port_finish()'.
The helper functions support retries to transferring MIDI messages when
transmission errors occur. When transactions are successful, the helper
functions call 'snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack()' internally to consume MIDI
bytes in the buffer. Therefore, Each driver is expected to use
'snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek()' to tell the number of bytes to transfer to
return value of 'fill' callback.
