In a previous commit, ALSA firewire-tascam driver stores state image from tx isochronous packets. This image includes states of knob, fader, button of control surface, level of gain/volume of each physical inputs/outputs, and so on. It's useful for userspace applications to read whole of the image. This commit adds a unique ioctl command for ALSA hwdep interface for the purpose. For actual meaning of each bits in this image, please refer to discussion in alsa-devel[1].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
