[ Adding linux-usb ML to Cc, as it's a core USB issue ]

So the device seems incorrectly advertising as if it were supporting
UAC3 -- assuming the device is still not UAC3-capable.

IOW, it's a buggy firmware.  We need some blacklisting, or revert the
commit for now, unless any real UAC3 device comes up to the market.
