Subject: firewire: core: add sysfs attribute for easier udev rules

This adds the attribute /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw[0-9]+/units.  It
can be used in udev rules like the following ones:

# IIDC devices: industrial cameras and some webcams
SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x00010?*", GROUP="video"

# AV/C devices: camcorders, set-top boxes, TV sets, audio devices, ...
SUBSYSTEM=="firewire", ATTR{units}=="*0x00a02d:0x010001*", GROUP="video"

Background:

firewire-core manages two device types:
  - fw_device is a FireWire node.  A character device file is associated
    with it.
  - fw_unit is a unit directory on a node.  Each fw_device may have 0..n
    children of type fw_unit.  The units tell us what kinds of protocols
    a node implements.

We want to set ownership or ACLs or permissions of the character device
file of an fw_device, or/and create symlinks to it, based on available
protocols.  Until now udev rules had to look at the fw_unit devices and
then modify their parent's character device file accordingly.  This is
problematic for two reasons:  1) It happens sometime after the creation
of the fw_device, 2) an access policy may require that information from
all children is evaluated before a decision about the parent is made.

Problem 1) can ultimately not be avoided since this is the nature of
FireWire nodes:  They may add or remove unit directories at any point in
time.

However, we can still help userland a lot by providing the protocol type
information of all units in a summary sysfs attribute directly at the
fw_device.  This way,
   - the information is immediately available at the affected device
     when userspace goes about to handle an ADD or CHANGE event of the
     fw_device,
   - with most policies, it won't be necessary anymore to dig through
     child attributes.

The new attribute is called "units".  It contains space-separated tuples
of specifier_id and version of each present unit.  The delimiter within
tuples is a colon.  Specifier_id and version are printed as 0x%06x.

Here is an example of a node which implements an IPv4 unit and an IPv6
unit:  $ cat /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw2/units
0x00005e:0x000001 0x00005e:0x000002
