Your p_interval calculation is equivalent in both cases:
FS: 1 * 1000 == 1000 / 1
HS: 8 * 125 == 8000 / 8
And no, p_pktsize is intentionally set to the minimum packet size that a
packet will usually have. The actual size might be higher due to the
accumulated residue (see below).

All code that sets up runtime parameters should live in afunc_set_alt(),
while code that cares for preparation of descriptor parameters remains
in afunc_setup(). At least in theory, the driver could support multiple
alternate settings which operate on different parameters.

The packets the audio driver sends can only contain full sample frames,
and the residue cares about accumulated left-overs that are smaller than
such frames. Setting p_pktsize with DIV_ROUND_UP() would cause every
packet to be slightly too large in certain setups, which will make the
audio run slightly too fast. So yes, we do need the residue logic in
order to provide exact timing.
Note that this is different from the wMaxPacketSize calculation, which
is a value that's stored in the descriptors, transfered to the host and
cached there, so it and cannot be changed at runtime. Hence, it has to
prepare for the 'worst' case, while the determination of actual packet
sizes at runtime might come up with smaller values than the maximum.
