The USB core and sysfs will attempt to enumerate certain parameters which are unsupported by the au0828 - causing inconsistent behavior and sometimes causing the chip to reset. Avoid making these calls. This problem manifested as intermittent cases where the au8522 would be reset on analog video startup, in particular when starting up ALSA audio streaming in parallel - the sysfs entries created by snd-usb-audio on streaming startup would result in unsupported control messages being sent during tuning which would put the chip into an unknown state.
