Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Add retry on -EPROTO from usb_set_interface()
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2025 04:19:23 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Z//7s9dKsmVxHzY2@m.b4.vu> (raw)

During initialisation of Focusrite USB audio interfaces, -EPROTO is
sometimes returned from usb_set_interface(), which sometimes prevents
the device from working: subsequent usb_set_interface() and
uac_clock_source_is_valid() calls fail.

This patch adds up to 5 retries in endpoint_set_interface(), with a
delay starting at 5ms and doubling each time. 5 retries was chosen to
allow for longer than expected waits for the interface to start
responding correctly; in testing, a single 5ms delay was sufficient to
fix the issue.

Closes: https://github.com/geoffreybennett/fcp-support/issues/2
