Subject: [RFC PATCH 8/8] firewire: core: change modalias of unit device with backward incompatibility

As the last part of support for legacy layout of configuration ROM, this
commit traverse vendor directory as well as root directory when
constructing modalias for unit device. The change brings loss of backward
compatibility since it can fill 'mo' field which is 0 at current
implementation in the case. However, we can be optimistic against
regression for unit drivers in kernel, due to some points:

1. ALSA drivers for audio and music units uses Model fields to match
   device, however all of supported devices does not have such legacy
   layout.
2. the other unit drivers does not use Model field to match device.

The rest of concern is user space application. The most of application
just take care of node device and does not use the modalias of unit
device, thus the change does not affect to them. Although, systemd
project gets affects since it includes hwdb to take udev to configure
fw character device conveniently. I have a plan to work systemd so that
the access permission of character device is kept for the previous and
next version of Linux kernel.
