[PATCH 1/4] ALSA: doc: usb-audio: Add doc for QUIRK_FLAG_ALWAYS_SET_RATE
From: Rong Zhang
Date: Sat Aug 22 2026 - 14:54:16 EST
QUIRK_FLAG_ALWAYS_SET_RATE was introduced into usb-audio before without
appropriate documentation, so add it.
There is an odd colon in its comments, so remove it too.
As this is often forgotten, also add a reminder to the end of the
enumeration.
Fixes: 786f91da8535 ("ALSA: usb-audio: add QUIRK_FLAG_ALWAYS_SET_RATE for Mackie DLZ Creator XS")
