Audio and music units of RME Fireface series use its own protocol for
isochronous packets to transfer data. This protocol requires ALSA IEC
61883-1/6 engine to have alternative functions.
This commit is a preparation for the protocol.

Commit a9c4284bf5 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: add context information to
tracepoints") adds new members to tracepoint events of this module, to
represent context information. One of the members is bool type and
this causes sparse warnings.
16:1: warning: expression using sizeof bool
60:1: warning: expression using sizeof bool
16:1: warning: odd constant _Bool cast (ffffffffffffffff becomes 1)
60:1: warning: odd constant _Bool cast (ffffffffffffffff becomes 1)
This commit suppresses the warnings, by changing type of the member
to 'unsigned int'. Additionally, this commit applies '!!' idiom to
get 0/1 from 'in_interrupt()'.

In current implementation, packet processing is done in both of software
IRQ contexts of IR/IT contexts and process contexts.
This is usual interrupt handling of IR/IT context for 1394 OHCI.
(in hardware IRQ context)
irq_handler() (drivers/firewire/ohci.c)
->tasklet_schedule()
(in software IRQ context)
handle_it_packet() or handle_ir_packet_per_buffer() (drivers/firewire/ohci.c)
->flush_iso_completions()
->struct fw_iso_context.callback.sc()
= out_stream_callback() or in_stream_callback()
However, we have another chance for packet processing. It's done in PCM
frame handling via ALSA PCM interfaces.
(in process context)
ioctl(i.e. SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HWSYNC)
->snd_pcm_hwsync() (sound/core/pcm_native.c)
->snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr() (sound/core/pcm_lib.c)
->snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0()
->struct snd_pcm_ops.pointer()
= amdtp_stream_pcm_pointer()
->fw_iso_context_flush_completions() (drivers/firewire/core-iso.c)
->struct fw_card_driver.flush_iso_completions()
= ohci_flush_iso_completions() (drivers/firewire/ohci.c)
->flush_iso_completions()
->struct fw_iso_context.callback.sc()
= out_stream_callback() or in_stream_callback()
This design is for a better granularity of PCM pointer. When ioctl(2) is
executed with some commands for ALSA PCM interface, queued packets are
handled at first. Then, the latest number of handled PCM frames is
reported. The number can represent PCM frames transferred in most near
isochronous cycle.
Current tracepoints include no information to distinguish running contexts.
When tracing the interval of software IRQ context, this is not good.
This commit adds more information for current context. Additionally, the
index of packet processed in one context is added in a case that packet
processing is executed in continuous context of the same kind,
As a result, the output includes 11 fields with additional two fields
to commit 0c95c1d619 ("ALSA: firewire-lib: add tracepoints to dump a part
of isochronous packet data"):

When audio and music units have some quirks in their sequence of packet,
it's really hard for non-owners to identify the quirks. Although developers
need dumps for sequence of packets, it's difficult for users who have no
knowledges and no equipments for this purpose.
This commit adds tracepoints for this situation. When users encounter
the issue, they can dump a part of packet data via Linux tracing framework
as long as using drivers in ALSA firewire stack.
Additionally, tracepoints for outgoing packets will be our help to check
and debug packet processing of ALSA firewire stack.
This commit newly adds 'snd_firewire_lib' subsystem with 'in_packet' and
'out_packet' events. In the events, some attributes of packets and the
index of packet managed by this module are recorded per packet.
This is an usage:
$ trace-cmd record -e snd_firewire_lib:out_packet \
-e snd_firewire_lib:in_packet
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/snd_firewire_lib/out_packet/filter
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/snd_firewire_lib/in_packet/filter

One line represent one packet. The legend for the last nine fields is:
- The second of cycle scheduled for the packet
- The count of cycle scheduled for the packet
- The ID of node as source (hex)
- Some devices transfer packets with invalid source node ID in their CIP
header.
- The ID of node as destination (hex)
- The value is not in CIP header of packets.
- The value of isochronous channel
- The first quadlet of CIP header (hex)
- The second quadlet of CIP header (hex)
- The number of included quadlets
- The index of packet in a buffer maintained by this module
