At first place, I wrote the similar patch but judged it's a bit ad-hoc
way that callback functions are assigned after the call of
fw_iso_context_create() in raw code. For explicitness in a point of things
being declarative, I put the inline function into header, and avoid
someone's misfortune for future even if IEEE 1394 is enough legacy.
Anyway, I don't mind Stefan's proposal since it works well. It depends
on developers' fashion to choose policy to write codes.
Thanks
