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.
