ALSA: emu10k1: rework copyright statements

- Remove the "log-like" parts, following the same logic as the previous
commit
- Unify format
- Add missing major contributors, including myself
- Sort entries in order of first contribution (Creative comes last for
optical reasons; they don't appear to have directly contributed

ALSA: emu10k1: clean up driver status comments

Empty BUGS and TODO sections don't really help anyone, so remove them.

Version information is chronically outdated, and not really useful in a
git world anyway, so remove it as well.

Also remove duplicated (and outdated, of course) status section from
p16v.h (the one in p16v.c is in better shape).

# 67192cc0 12-Jul-2023 Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenhagen@gmx.de>

ALSA: emu10k1: remove superfluous IRQ enable state saving

The mixer, PCM prepare, MIDI, synth driver, and procfs callbacks are all
always invoked with IRQs enabled, so there is no point in saving the
state.

snd_emu1010_load_firmware_entry() is called from emu1010_firmware_work()
and snd_emu10k1_emu1010_init(); the latter from snd_emu10k1_create() and
snd_emu10k1_resume(), all of which have IRQs enabled.

The voice and memory functions are called from mixed contexts, so they
keep the state saving.

The low-level functions all keep the state saving, because it's not
feasible to keep track of what is called where.

ALSA: emu10k1: actually show some S/PDIF status in /proc for E-MU cards

# e73b597e 12-Jun-2023 Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenhagen@gmx.de>

ALSA: emu10k1: query rate of external clock sources on E-MU cards

The value isn't used yet; the subsequent commits will do that.

This ignores the existence of rates above 48 kHz, which is fine, as the
hardware will just switch to the fallback clock source when fed with a
rate which is incompatible with the base clock multiplier, which
currently is always x1.

The sample rate display in /proc spdif-in is adjusted to reflect our
understanding of the input rates.

This is tested only with an 0404b card without sync card, so there is a
lot of room for improvement.

# db987421 25-May-2023 Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenhagen@gmx.de>

ALSA: emu10k1: vastly improve usefulness of info in /proc

- Include the FX bus map, without which the already present send routing
info would require looking up the documentation.
- Include the physical I/O channels as known to the driver
- Make the multi-channel capture map actually name the mapped input
channels rather than "FXBUS" (Audigy) or even "???" (SbLive)
- The latter two are omitted for E-MU cards, as their physical I/O is
routed through the FPGA
- While at it, make the "Card" field somewhat more useful

This includes de-duplicating the label tables between emuproc and emufx,
updating/improving the FX bus label table, and making the SB Live! 5.1
multi-track capture channel mapping hack data-driven.

ALSA: emu10k1: fix writing 1st pointer-offset register set through /proc

The limits were appropriate only for the 2nd set.

FWIW, the channel count 4 for the 2nd set is suspicious as well - at
least P17V_PLAYBACK_FIFO_PTR actually has 8 channels, and comments on
HCFG2 hint at that as well. But all bitmasks are documented only for 4
channels. Anyway, rectifying that is out of scope for this patch.

cards have a P17V, but it's entirely unused, so we hide it there as
well.

ALSA: emu10k1: revamp playback voice allocator

Instead of separate voices, we now allocate non-interleaved channels,
which may in turn contain two interleaved voices each. The higher-level
code keeps only one pointer per channel. The channels are not allocated
in one block any more, as there is no reason to do that. As a
consequence of that, and because it is cleaner regardless, we now let
the allocator store these pointers at a specified location, rather than
returning only the first one and having the calling code deduce the
remaining ones.

Unlike the other models, this is actually a distinct card, rather than
an E-MU 1010 with different "dongles". It is stereo only, and supports
no ADAT (there is no trace of ADAT in the manual, switching the output
mode to ADAT has no effect, and switching the input mode to ADAT just
breaks input (presumably ... my only ADAT source is the card's output)).

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
