Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: scarlett2: Add retry on -EPROTO from scarlett2_usb_tx()
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2025 19:00:35 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aIdDO6ld50WQwNim@m.b4.vu> (raw)

During communication with Focusrite Scarlett Gen 2/3/4 USB audio
interfaces, -EPROTO is sometimes returned from scarlett2_usb_tx(),
snd_usb_ctl_msg() which can cause initialisation and control
operations to fail intermittently.

This patch adds up to 5 retries in scarlett2_usb(), with a delay
starting at 5ms and doubling each time. This follows the same approach
as the fix for usb_set_interface() in endpoint.c (commit f406005e162b
("ALSA: usb-audio: Add retry on -EPROTO from usb_set_interface()")),
which resolved similar -EPROTO issues during device initialisation,
and is the same approach as in fcp.c:fcp_usb().

Fixes: 9e4d5c1be21f ("ALSA: usb-audio: Scarlett Gen 2 mixer interface")
Closes: https://github.com/geoffreybennett/linux-fcp/issues/41
