I'm an author of ALSA firewire stack and thanks for the patch. I agree with
your intention to remove the cast of function callback toward CFI build.
Practically, the isochronous context with FW_ISO_CONTEXT_RECEIVE_MULTICHANNEL
is never used by in-kernel drivers. Here, I propose to leave current
kernel API (fw_iso_context_create() with fw_iso_callback_t) as is.
Alternatively, a new kernel API for the context (e.g.
fw_iso_mc_context_create() with fw_iso_mc_callback_t). This idea leaves
current drivers as is and the change is done inner firewire-core driver,
therefore existent kernel API is not changed.
Later I post two patches for the proposal. I'd like you to review it and
I'm glad to receive your comments.
Regards
Takashi Sakamoto
