Thanks for the detailed review.
I see https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/audio10.pdf clearly specifies Mixer unit is always 1/256dB units.
This patch has been carried in Qcom downstream kernels for past many years to fix very low Initial volume setting on some USB headsets like Logitech S-150 USB Speakers and Nokia HS-82 USB headset.
Its highly likely that its a firmware bug!, but I will try to get it retested on latest kernel and collect some logs!
Thanks, srini
