Thank you. I really appreciate your assistance and feedback.

I had a look at that commit, and I think I don't need to change
scarlett2_usb() because it calls snd_usb_ctl_msg() which already calls
the snd_usb_pipe_sanity_check() function to verify the pipe.

I'm thinking though that scarlett2_mixer_status_create() which does
something like this:

  struct usb_device *dev = mixer->chip->dev;
  unsigned int pipe = usb_rcvintpipe(dev, SCARLETT2_USB_INTERRUPT_ENDPOINT);
  ...
  usb_fill_int_urb(mixer->urb, dev, pipe, ...);
  usb_submit_urb(mixer->urb, GFP_KERNEL);

probably needs this added:

  if (snd_usb_pipe_sanity_check(dev, pipe))
          return -EINVAL;

Do you agree?

Will fix.
