ALSA firewire stack includes some drivers. Although some of them implement
unique event as well as the lock event, the others supports the lock
event only. The condition statement comes from the former, I guess.
ALSA BeBoB, OXFW, and Fireface drivers are the latter. Later I'll post
the similar patch for ALSA BeBoB driver.

Anyway, thank you to find the issue ;)
