06b8f14dc2 staging/fwserial: Remove bandwidth limit logic
Self-limiting asynchronous bandwidth (via reducing the payload)
is not necessary and does not work, because
 1) asynchronous traffic will absorb all available bandwidth (less that
    being used for isochronous traffic)
 2) isochronous arbitration always wins.

3c8c21e63a staging/fwserial: Update TODO file per reviewer comments
Pursuant to this review https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/500
by Stefan Richter, update the TODO file.
- Clarify purpose of TODO file
- Remove firewire item #4. As discussed in this conversation
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/13/564 knowing the AR buffer size
  is not a hard requirement. The required rx buffer size can be
  determined experimentally.
- Remove firewire item #5. This was a private note for further
  experimentation.
- Change firewire item #1. Change suggested header from uapi header
  to kernel-only header.

218cbbd821 staging/fwserial: Remove superfluous free
Now that the dma fifo is allocated on activate and freed on
shutdown, this extra free is harmless but unnecessary.

a321846492 staging/fwserial: Destruct embedded tty_port on teardown
For TTY drivers that manage the port lifetime, the tty_port should
to be specifically destructed when the port lifetime ends. Now that
a method has been added to do this, use it.
