RME Fireface series has several models and their specifications are
different. Currently, we find no way to retrieve the specifications
from actual devices and need to implement them in this driver.
This commit adds a structure to describe model specific data. This
structure has an identical name for each unit, and maximum number of
data channels in each mode. I'll describe about the mode in following
commits.

Just after appearing on IEEE 1394 bus, this unit generates several bus
resets. This is due to loading firmware from on-board flash memory and
initialize hardware. It's better to postpone sound card registration.
This commit schedules workqueue to process actual probe processing
2 seconds after the last bus-reset. The card instance is kept at unit
probe callback and released at card free callback. Therefore, when the
actual probe processing fails, the memory block is wasted. This is due to
simplify driver implementation.

This commit adds a new driver for RME Fireface series. This commit just
creates/removes card instance according to IEEE 1394 bus event. More
functions will be added in following commits.
Three types of firmware have released by RME GmbH; for Fireface 400, for
Fireface 800 and for UCX/802/UFX. It's reasonable that these models use
different protocol for communication. Currently, I've investigated
Fireface 400 and nothing others.
