    firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow multiple FCP listeners · db5d247a
    Clemens Ladisch 提交于
    Control of more than one AV/C device at once --- e.g. camcorders, tape
    decks, audio devices, TV tuners --- failed or worked only unreliably,
    depending on driver implementation.  This affected kernelspace and
    userspace drivers alike and was caused by firewire-core's inability to
    accept multiple registrations of FCP listeners.
    
    The fix allows multiple address handlers to be registered for the FCP
    command and response registers.  When a request for these registers is
    received, all handlers are invoked, and the Firewire response is
    generated by the core and not by any handler.
    
    The cdev API does not change, i.e., userspace is still expected to send
    a response for FCP requests; this response is silently ignored.
