    ALSA: usb-audio: Add quirk for Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 · 1762a59d
    Martin Schwenke authored
    Probing this device currently fails in snd_usb_audio_probe() because
    the call to snd_usb_create_mixer() fails.  This is due to unknown or
    non-standard interface descriptor subtypes in parse_audio_unit():
    
      usbaudio: unit 51: unexpected type 0x09
      snd-usb-audio: probe of 1-8:1.0 failed with error -5
    
    Some people are working around this by recompiling usb-audio with the
    call to snd_usb_create_mixer() commented out.  It would be nice to
    avoid that.
    
    While the best idea would be to look into the mixer creation failure,
    a reasonable short-term solution is to use quirks to only probe the
    trouble-free interfaces.  This allows audio and MIDI interfaces to be
    used without any obvious issues.
    
    Interface 0 is the main one to ignore.  It contains lots of
    control-fu, including the unexpected interface descriptor subtypes.
    Interface 5 is for firmware updates and I'm not sure how to get
    support for this.  Interface 3 is some sort of control interface that
    I don't understand:
    
        Interface Descriptor:
          bLength                 9
          bDescriptorType         4
          bInterfaceNumber        3
          bAlternateSetting       0
          bNumEndpoints           0
          bInterfaceClass         1 Audio
          bInterfaceSubClass      1 Control Device
          bInterfaceProtocol      0
          iInterface              0
          AudioControl Interface Descriptor:
            bLength                 9
            bDescriptorType        36
            bDescriptorSubtype      1 (HEADER)
            bcdADC               1.00
            wTotalLength            9
            bInCollection           1
            baInterfaceNr( 0)       1
