[alsa-devel] [PATCH] sound/usb/card.c: clear chip->probing on error exit

[Thomas Pfaff]

The Terratec Aureon 5.1 USB sound card support is broken since kernel 
2.6.39.
2.6.39 introduced power management support for USB sound cards that added 
a probing flag in struct snd_usb_audio.

During the probe of the card it gives following error message :

usb 7-2: new full speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd
cannot find UAC_HEADER
snd-usb-audio: probe of 7-2:1.3 failed with error -5
input: USB Audio as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb7/7-2/7-2:1.3/input/input6
generic-usb 0003:0CCD:0028.0001: input: USB HID v1.00 Device [USB Audio] 
on usb-0000:00:1d.1-2/input3

I can not comment about that "cannot find UAC_HEADER" error, but until 
2.6.38 the card worked anyway.
With 2.6.39 chip->probing remains 1 on error exit, and any later ioctl 
stops in snd_usb_autoresume with -ENODEV.
