Thanks for the report. What distro/version of things are you running?
OOTB? Custom compiles?

It is interesting that the ffado site reports:

Manufacturer:
Focusrite
Device Info on Vendor Site:
http://www.focusrite.com/products/saffire/saffire_pro_40/
Support Status:
Experimental
Support Contact(s):
ppalmers

This device is NOT supported in 2.0. It will be included in the 2.x
release that introduces DICE support. This will most likely be version
2.1.

For the Liquid Saffire 56 it reports:

Manufacturer:
Focusrite
Support Status:
Reported to work
Support Contact(s):
nettings
