We've got a regression report for USB-audio with Sony WALKMAN NW-A45 DAC device where no sound is audible on recent kernel. The bisection resulted in the code change wrt endpoint management, and the further debug session revealed that it was caused by the order of the USB audio interface. In the earlier code, we always set up the USB interface at first before other setups, but it was changed to be done at the last for UAC2/3, which is more standard way, while keeping the old way for UAC1. OTOH, this device seems requiring the setup of the interface at first just like UAC1.

This patch works around the regression by applying the interface setup specifically for the WALKMAN at the beginning of the endpoint setup procedure. This change is written straightforwardly to be easily backported in old kernels. A further cleanup to move the workaround into a generic quirk section will follow in a later patch.
