firewire: cdev: require quadlet-aligned headers for transmit packets
The definition of struct fw_cdev_iso_packet seems to imply that the header_length must be quadlet-aligned, and in fact, specifying an unaligned header has never really worked when using multiple packet structures, because the position of the next control word is computed by rounding the header_length _down_, so the last one to three bytes of the header would overlap the next control word. To avoid this problem, check that the header length is properly aligned. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
