[PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Add quirk flags for SMSL USB DAC

From: Edward Blair

Date: Sat Aug 22 2026 - 07:42:23 EST


The SMSL USB DAC with USB ID 152a:85dd produces an audible pop
when snd-usb-audio performs its redundant probe-time interface setup.
It also pops when returning from runtime suspend.

Skip the probe-time interface setup and disable runtime autosuspend for
this device. Both flags have been verified through the quirk_flags module
parameter.

Keep QUIRK_FLAG_DSD_RAW in the device entry because the exact match takes
precedence over the generic 0x152a vendor entry from which the device
currently inherits that flag.
