Re: [REGRESSION] snd-usb-audio: commit da3a7efff64e ("ALSA: usb-audio: Update for native DSD support quirks") breaks DSD playback on Musical Fidelity M6s DAC (2772:0502), plays ~8.8% fast

And reverting with device specific white-listing is not a good approach for future maintenance. Having to device-specific white-list each new device appearing on the market from the manufacturer just because some old device is broken is not really a sustainable model.

While I fully agree that white-listing all needed devices won't scale,
blacklisting the broken device might work.  We can an empty quirk
entry for 2772:0502 for skipping the vendor match, something like
below, as an ad hoc fix.

Though, this blindly assumes that there aren't so many broken devices,
and there will be no firmware fix or another model that works with the
same ID.  If a model is relatively new and/or the vendor often updates
the firmware, such an entry can be risky, too.
