Subject: [PATCH] firewire: cdev: tcodes input validation

The behaviour of fw-transaction.c::fw_send_request is ill-defined for
any other tcodes than read/ write/ lock request tcodes.  Therefore
prevent requests with wrong tcodes from entering the transaction layer.

Maybe fw_send_request should check them itself, but I am not inclined to
change it and fw_fill_request from void-valued functions to ones which
return error codes and pass those up.  Besides, maybe fw_send_request is
going to support one more tcode than ioctl_send_request in the future
(TCODE_STREAM_DATA).
