In order to allow userspace/applications know about USB offloading status,
expose a sound kcontrol that fetches information about which sound card
and PCM index the USB device is mapped to for supporting offloading.  In
the USB audio offloading framework, the ASoC BE DAI link is the entity
responsible for registering to the SOC USB layer.

It is expected for the USB SND offloading driver to add the kcontrol to the
sound card associated with the USB audio device.  An example output would
look like:

tinymix -D 1 get 'USB Offload Playback Route PCM#0'
-1, -1 (range -1->255)

This example signifies that there is no mapped ASoC path available for the
USB SND device.

tinymix -D 1 get 'USB Offload Playback Route PCM#0'
0, 0 (range -1->255)

This example signifies that the offload path is available over ASoC sound
card index#0 and PCM device#0.

this is very odd, the offloading driver adds a control to another card?

That seems like a rather important layering violation.

I thought it was done the other way, the USB audio card created a
control that would point to the other card/device.

but that control would not even exist if the ASoC-based driver isn't probed.

It's become really hard to follow, I've been on all this for 1.5hrs and
losing track of the design.

The USB SND offloading vendor driver (qc_audio_offload), which technically co-exists with USB SND core, is the entity that will add the offload kcontrol to the USB audio device's sound card.  Initially, I had the kcontrol creation as part of the USB SND mixer, but I believe Takashi preferred if the vendor driver did it instead.

Hence why it probably is a good idea to leave it within the USB offload vendor driver.  There are checks to ensure that the ASoC based driver is probed/available before the kcontrols are created for a device.  If there are devices that were identified before the ASoC components were probed, then the snd_usb_rediscover_devices() is triggered as part of soc-usb, and that would call the connect_cb() callback to the USB SND vendor offload driver to create the kcontrol.

Thanks
