Thanks for everything!  This is highly appreciated by me, and probably will
be by many others and those who won't even realize they hadn't been
supported until now.  Although it's been fun feeling useful, It'll be quite
nice to go back to a packaged kernel and save some storage space too.

The kernel option "snd_ua101.dyndbg=+p" debugging details seem lacking
here, so this is the little I was able to gather:

The Edirol UA-101's full speed (USB 1.1) mode is affected, but not its high
speed (USB 2) mode, which works under these same conditions.

It only misbehaves on my USB2 ports, not my other availability of USB3.
On a working older kernel 5.9.0-1-rt-amd64 with the dyndbg above enabled, I
got a very sparse debugging log:
3:43:00 turned it on (already switched to full speed mode-USB 1.1, &
already connected to a USB2 port)

3:54:30 disconnected the USB cable

Now here's the same tests with kernel 5.12.0-rc8-next-20210422, still with
boot option "snd_ua101.dyndbg=+p".  Note the alsa device name changed from
"USB1" on the old kernel to UA101" here, but I doubt that makes the
difference:

2:12:30 turned it on (already connected to a USB2 port, probably the same
port, though its designation changed)

after a few seconds:

2:17:19 turned it off

Then, here, I connected it to a USB3 port (which works):

Later, I turned it off, changed switch to high speed (USB 2) mode (which
works), and plugged it back in to that same USB2 port with the trouble
earlier:

2:47:00 turned it on

Sorry if that's not enough information; it certainly seems bare to me.  I'd
be happy if you have other suggestions that could lead to better diagnosis,
though.

Thanks,
