[PATCH 0/3] ALSA: firewire-motu: fix message parser and refine UAPI

[Takashi Sakamoto]

Hi,

This patchset is to fix message parser and refine UAPI added in below
patchset.
https://lore.kernel.org/alsa-devel/20211015080826.34847-1-o-takashi@sakamocchi.jp/

Current implementation of message parser for register DSP models has a
bug to cause invalid memory access in the other type of models. I
attempted to fix it in my previous patch[1] but got a comment for simpler
solution. The first patch in the patchset is revised version of the
previous one.

After working for libhinawa(g-i binding)[2], Rust bindings[3], and
service program[4] as application of the new features in UAPI, I found
that the number of input meters is greater than current structure in UAPI
for some models.  The second patch is to refine the structure and message
parser. I note that the other part of UAPI is pretty good, and the service
program now supports control notification in register DSP mdoels as well
as command DSP models.

After discussion about usage of float type in UAPI, it shall be allowed
in some cases. The third patch is to interpret the UAPI for float type in
userspace and u32 type in kernel space.
