1) I would still suggest moving the code in create_fixed_stream_quirk() (marked
as (*)) after "if (altsd->bNumEndpoints < 1)" check. This way no allocations is
done in snd_usb_add_audio_stream() if we go an error path:
(*) stream = (fp->endpoint & USB_DIR_IN)
(*) ? SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE : SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK;
(*) err = snd_usb_add_audio_stream(chip, stream, fp);
(*) if (err < 0)
(*) goto error;
2) While your fix is indeed simpler, it fixes double-free bug only in
create_fixed_stream_quirk(). create_uaxx_quirk(), for example, still has this
bug:
err = snd_usb_add_audio_stream(chip, stream, fp);
if (err < 0) { <<< in the error path there
kfree(fp); <<< is a double-free
return err;
}
as any other code where snd_usb_add_audio_stream() is used and *fp is freed in
case of error.
3) Not deleting fp from the fmt_list inside snd_usb_add_audio_stream() in case
of error moves this necessity to a caller, thus breaking the scope. This forces
any caller of snd_usb_add_audio_stream() to fulfill this non-obvious requirement.
But I agree that this is simpler and more straightforward. We need just to fix
all the places where snd_usb_add_audio_stream() is called (3 as of now), please,
have a look on the following patch.

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Fix double-free in error paths after snd_usb_add_audio_stream() call
create_fixed_stream_quirk(), snd_usb_parse_audio_interface() and
create_uaxx_quirk() functions allocate the audioformat object by themselves
and free it upon error before returning. However, once the object is linked
to a stream, it's freed again in snd_usb_audio_pcm_free(), thus it'll be
double-freed, eventually resulting in a memory corruption.
This patch fixes these failures in the error paths by unlinking the audioformat
object before freeing it. Also it moves a piece of code in
create_fixed_stream_quirk() to avoid unnecessary allocations in case of error.
[Note for stable backports:
this patch requires the commit 902eb7fd1e4a ('ALSA: usb-audio: Minor
code cleanup in create_fixed_stream_quirk()')]
