Now I took a look at the syzbot URL and got more info.

Through a quick glance, my wild guess is that two different drivers
are bound to two interfaces of the device, the first one to usb-audio
and the second one to imon.  And imon driver blindly assumes that the
first interface is bound with imon, too, and that can be the cause.
A patch like below (totally untested!) might fix the problem.

Can you reproduce the problem in your side?  Or did you pick this up
randomly without testing?

In anyway, let's put media people to Cc.


thanks,

Takashi
