To be clear, the TonePort UX2 is real hardware.  But this driver
basically supports four classes of Line 6 devices and I'm only covering
one of them.

So this series is a first step in trying to address this.  Having this
as a single driver probably made sense when it was a separate project,
but now that it is in-tree it seems like the POD, PODHD, TonePort, and
Variax pieces should each be separate drivers that each depend on a core
Line 6 driver.  I think the cleanup in this series will make that
easier.  None of this is my area of expertise, though, so advice and
feedback is very welcome.

I intended to do further work.  I know there is quite a bit of mundane
checkpatch cleanup that would need to get done before this could get
promoted, and I believe I read that it's using sysfs for stuff that
would normally be done via an ALSA interface, and the sysfs interface
has not been documented nor has it been justified.  All stuff I thought
I might look into.

But I'm just doing this for fun so I can't promise anything.  :-)
