firewire: ohci: fix IR/IT context mask mixup
This bug was present in firewire-ohci since day one: The number of
available isochronous receive DMA contexts was mixed up with that of
available isochronous transmit DMA contexts.
This is harmless on a few chips which offer the same number of contexts
in both directions, but most chips nowadays implement only the standard
minimum of 4 IR contexts, but 8 IT contexts. If a user attempted to run
a lot of IR contexts at once, results with more than four were therefore
unpredictable. I suppose the controller would simply refuse to start
DMA of any unimplemented context.
