Hi,

Oscar Carter works for Control Flow Integrity build. Any cast
of function callback is inconvenient for the work. Unfortunately,
current code of firewire-core driver includes the cast[1] and Oscar
posted some patches to remove it[2]. The patch is itself good. However,
it includes changes existent kernel API and all of drivers as user
of the API get affects from the change.

This patchset is an alternative idea to add a new kernel API specific
for multichannel isoc context. The existent kernel API and drivers is
left as is.

Practically, no in-kernel drivers use the additional API. Although the
API is exported in the patchset, it's better to discuss about unexporting
the API.

* [PATCH 1/2] firewire-core: add kernel API to construct multichannel isoc context

In 1394 OHCI specification, IR context has several modes. One of mode
is 'multiChanMode'. For this mode, Linux FireWire stack has
FW_ISO_CONTEXT_RECEIVE_MULTICHANNEL flag apart from FW_ISO_CONTEXT_RECEIVE,
and associated internal callback. However, code of firewire-core driver
includes cast of function callback for the mode and this brings
inconvenient to effort of Control Flow Integrity builds.

This commit is a preparation to remove the cast. A new kernel API for the
mode is added and existent API is specific for FW_ISO_CONTEXT_RECEIVE and
FW_ISO_CONTEXT_TRANSMIT modes. Actually, no in-kernel driver uses the mode
and the additional kernel API is never used at present.

Thanks for your work and new proposal. I've done a test build an it cleans the
-Wcast-function-type warning without the need to change the current API. So, it
looks good to me.
