snd_fireworks module fails to load

[Len Ovens]

dmesg contains these two lines:
[ 8.593334] snd_fireworks fw1.0: EFW transaction timed out
[ 8.594276] snd_fireworks fw1.0: Sound card registration failed: -5
And ALSA therefore does not see my echo audiofire 12.

The device continues to work fine as a backend for jackdbus2 using the FFADO kernel modules. The snd_fireworks did work fine with this device in ubuntustudio 20.04 but also fails in ubuntustudio 20.10 (which I don't use)

I have an Echo AudioFire 4 and am experiencing the same issues.
