Hi list,
here are some more cleanups to the firedtv driver.  As mentioned during

the last round of updates, this driver is currently hosted in a branch

at kernel.org's linux1394-2.6.git repo (actually three branches) with

the goal to make it merge-ready for 2.6.28(-rc1) --- I hope.  Quilt

series exist too.  More info about the git branches and quilt series can

be found at http://user.in-berlin.de/~s5r6/linux1394/firedtv/.  I will

upload the new patches to these repos later today.
This series of updates touches the ieee1394 interface of the driver and

cleans up some aspects of the driver initialization and device probing.

The three ieee1394 core patches in this series have already been posted

to the linux1394-devel mailinglist a while ago.
What I would still like to do before posting a proper announcement and

review patch on LKML is

  - many trivial stylistic cleanups,

  - don't use bitfields for on-the-wire data (there is a bug with big

    endian CPUs in the driver due to its bitfields),

  - rename variables, functions, files, and the driver subdirectory

    from firesat to firedtv.  (The module is already called firedtv.)
I will follow up with the following patches:
 01/10 ieee1394: use correct barrier types between accesses of nodeid and generation

 02/10 ieee1394: add hpsb_node_read() and hpsb_node_lock()

 03/10 ieee1394: inherit ud vendor_id from node vendor_id

 04/10 firedtv: use hpsb_node_read(), _write(), _lock()

 05/10 firedtv: add vendor_id and version to driver match table

 06/10 firedtv: remove unused dual subunit code from initialization

 07/10 firedtv: fix initialization of dvb_frontend.ops

 08/10 firedtv: remove unused struct members

 09/10 firedtv: fix string comparison and a few sparse warnings

 10/10 firedtv: register input device as child of a FireWire device

The patches have been compile-tested with linux 2.6.25, .26, .27-rc7 and

runtime tested with .27-rc7 and a FireDTV DVB-C box.
