[PATCH v2] ALSA: usb-audio: validate full match when resolving quirk aliases

From: Cássio Gabriel

Date: Tue Mar 17 2026 - 00:22:48 EST


get_alias_quirk() resolves a quirk for an aliased USB ID by scanning
usb_audio_ids[], but it currently checks only the vendor/product pair.

This is weak for quirk table entries that also depend on additional
USB_DEVICE_ID match fields, such as device or interface class,
subclass, protocol, interface number, or bcdDevice range.

Rework the alias lookup so that it still uses the aliased vid:pid as
the initial lookup key, but validates the remaining match_flags
constraints of each candidate entry against the real device and
interface descriptors before returning the quirk.

Changes in v2:
- drop the temporary usb_device_id reconstruction approach
- validate only the remaining match_flags explicitly
- pass struct usb_interface * to get_alias_quirk()
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260314-alsa-usb-fix-quirk-alias-v1-1-3269998f7ada@xxxxxxxxx
