firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow multiple FCP listeners
Control of more than one AV/C device at once --- e.g. camcorders, tape decks, audio devices, TV tuners --- failed or worked only unreliably, depending on driver implementation. This affected kernelspace and userspace drivers alike and was caused by firewire-core's inability to accept multiple registrations of FCP listeners. The fix allows multiple address handlers to be registered for the FCP command and response registers. When a request for these registers is received, all handlers are invoked, and the Firewire response is generated by the core and not by any handler. The cdev API does not change, i.e., userspace is still expected to send a response for FCP requests; this response is silently ignored.
