Adding the developer of that patch, and the sound maintainer and developers to the thread.
I have noticed that after the update from kernel 4.14.5 to 4.14.6 alsamixer does not show the usual volume controls for my usb soundcard.
Reverting 3884d12e17ab770aa0f5d4bc65bfbfd006f417fa ALSA: usb-audio: Add check return value for usb_string() (from linux-stable) makes the controls come back again with kernel 4.14.6.
Amixer shows a difference between the good and bad case.
Good amixer output (4.14.5): Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 110 Mono: Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-55.00dB] [on] Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-55.00dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'PCM Capture Source',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'Line' 'IEC958 In' Item0: 'Line' Simple mixer control 'Line',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch cswitch-joined Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 104 Front Left: Capture 20 [19%] [-30.00dB] [off] Front Right: Capture 20 [19%] [-30.00dB] [off]
Bad amixer output (4.14.6): Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined enum Items: 'Line' 'IEC958 In' Item0: 'Line' Item1: 'Line' Simple mixer control 'Line',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch cswitch-joined Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 104 Front Left: Capture 20 [19%] [-30.00dB] [off] Front Right: Capture 20 [19%] [-30.00dB] [off]
The output of lsusb -v for the affected sound card is attached.

This is odd, Takashi, I thought we fixed up the problem that if the string was invalid, the code would continue to go on, it's not a "real" error. Did that not get marked for the stable trees?
