Yes, the approach looks good to me.
Just a few comments:

IMO it's safer to call from the specific failure path, i.e. 

 static bool uac_clock_source_is_valid(....)
 {
	....
	err = snd_usb_ctl_msg(dev, usb_rcvctrlpipe(dev, 0), UAC2_CS_CUR,
			      USB_TYPE_CLASS | USB_RECIP_INTERFACE | USB_DIR_IN,
			      UAC2_CS_CONTROL_CLOCK_VALID << 8,
			      snd_usb_ctrl_intf(chip) | (source_id << 8),
			      &data, sizeof(data));

	if (err < 0) {

		if (uac_clock_source_is_valid_quirk(....))
			return true;

		dev_warn(&dev->dev,
			 "%s(): cannot get clock validity for id %d\n",
			   __func__, source_id);
		return false;
	}

Then you can pass cs_desc there, too.

Hm, it's not good to hide the error message always.  This is a common
error on many devices and suppressing it would look cleaner but also
hide what's the reason.  Maybe we can add nowarn bool flag for certain
code paths?
