Bug#1041191: “invalid interface number” on Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor

[AlMa]

Package: linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64
Version: 6.1.37-1

The journal shows several warnings (orange texts “usb 3-1.8: config 0
has an invalid interface number: 3 but max is 2”, “config 0 has no
interface number 2”, and “usb 3-1.8: config 0 descriptor??”):

The part “an invalid interface number: 3 but max is 2” doesn't sound
good. Any problem with the kernel or the driver? Will the fingerprint
sensor not work? At the same time, other USB devices (namely, physical
USB-A ports) sometimes fail due to physical wear (bad electrical
contact); so these problems might hypothetically be related. Moreover,
the machine experiences other problems later during boot, so what are
the extent and potential consequences of the warnings here?

Gratefully,
AlMa
