In 1394 OHCI specification, Isochronous Receive DMA context has several modes. One of mode is 'BufferFill' and Linux FireWire stack uses it to receive isochronous packets for multiple isochronous channel as FW_ISO_CONTEXT_RECEIVE_MULTICHANNEL. The mode is not used by in-kernel driver, while it's available for userspace. The character device driver in firewire-core includes cast of function callback for the mode since the type of callback function is different from the other modes. The case is inconvenient to effort of Control Flow Integrity builds due to -Wcast-function-type warning. This commit removes the cast. A static helper function is newly added to initialize isochronous context for the mode. The helper function arranges isochronous context to assign specific callback function after call of existent kernel API. It's noticeable that the number of isochronous channel, speed, and the size of header are not required for the mode. The helper function is used for the mode by character device driver instead of direct call of existent kernel API. The same goal can be achieved (in the ioctl_create_iso_context function) without this helper function as follows: - Call the fw_iso_context_create function passing NULL to the callback parameter. - Then setting the context->callback.sc or context->callback.mc variables based on the a->type value. However using the helper function created in this patch makes code more clear and declarative. This way avoid the call to a function with one purpose to achieved another one.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
