ALSA: firewire-tascam: add note for FE-8

TASCAM FE-8 is the rest of model in TASCAM FireWire series. This device
has no functionality to process audio signal and MIDI messages. Instead,
it transfers control messages to host system corresponding to operations
for some faders, buttons and knobs on its surface.

Unlike the other devices in this series, the control messages are
transmitted by asynchronous transactions. Some registers of device are
used for registration of destination address for the transaction. The
transaction includes quadlet-aligned data up to 32 quadlets.

Userspace applications can receive the transaction and parse it for
control message via Linux FireWire subsystem, without any support by
ALSA firewire-tascam driver. Therefore the driver gives no support
for it.

This commit removes placeholder for FE-8 and add some comment for its
functionalities as notes.
