So this comes from the invalid descriptor for a processing unit, and
it's very likely the same issue as already spotted -- the validator up
to 5.3-rc4 had a bug that passed the invalid descriptor falsely.
This should have been covered by 5.3-rc5, commit ba8bf0967a15 ("ALSA:
usb-audio: Fix copy&paste error in the validator").
