While there is nothing wrong with the transfer_ack_begin and transfer_ack_end callbacks per-se, the last documented user was part of the alsa-driver 0.5.12a package, which was released 14 years ago and even predates the upstream integration of the ALSA core and has subsequently been superseded by newer alsa-driver releases.

This seems to indicate that there is no need for having these callbacks and they are just cruft that can be removed.

Applied, thanks. Let's cross fingers.
