+ASoC USB support
+================
+
+Overview
+========
+In order to leverage the existing USB sound device support in ALSA, the
+ASoC USB APIs are introduced to allow the subsystems to exchange
+configuration information.
+
+One potential use case would be to support USB audio offloading, which is
+an implementation that allows for an alternate power-optimized path in the audio
+subsystem to handle the transfer of audio data over the USB bus. This would
+let the main processor to stay in lower power modes for longer duration. The
+following is an example design of how the ASoC and ALSA pieces can be connected
+together to achieve this:
+
+::

+The snd_soc_usb structure can be referenced using the ASoC platform card

+link, and the USB sound entity will be able to pass information to the
+ASoC BE DAI link using this structure.

+ - ``num_playback``: number of playback streams
+ - ``num_capture``: number of capture streams
+ - ``list``: list head for the USB sound device list

+After removing a device, any SOC USB operations would not be able to reference the

+
+How to Register to SoC USB
+--------------------------
+The ASoC DPCM USB BE DAI link is the entity responsible for allocating and
+registering the SoC USB device on the component bind. Likewise, it will
+also be responsible for freeing the allocated resources. An example can
+be shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+ static int q6usb_component_probe(struct snd_soc_component *component)
+ {
+ ...
+ data->usb = snd_soc_usb_allocate_port(component, 1, &data->priv);
+ if (!data->usb)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ usb->connection_status_cb = q6usb_alsa_connection_cb;
+
+ ret = snd_soc_usb_add_port(usb);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ dev_err(component->dev, "failed to add usb port\n");
+ goto free_usb;
+ }
+ ...
+ }
+
+ static void q6usb_component_remove(struct snd_soc_component *component)
+ {
+ ...
+ snd_soc_usb_remove_port(data->usb);
+ snd_soc_usb_free_port(data->usb);
+ }
+
+ static const struct snd_soc_component_driver q6usb_dai_component = {
+ .probe = q6usb_component_probe,
+ .remove = q6usb_component_remove,
+ .name = "q6usb-dai-component",
+ ...
+ };
+..
+
+BE DAI links can pass along vendor specific information as part of the
+call to allocate the SoC USB device. This will allow any BE DAI link
+parameters or settings to be accessed by the USB offload driver that
+resides in USB SND.
+
+USB Audio Device Connection Flow
+--------------------------------
+USB devices can be hotplugged into the USB ports at any point in time.
+The BE DAI link should be aware of the current state of the physical USB
+port, i.e. if there are any USB devices with audio interface(s) connected.
+connection_status_cb() can be used to notify the BE DAI link of any change.
+
+This is called whenever there is a USB SND interface bind or remove event,
+using snd_soc_usb_connect() or snd_soc_usb_disconnect():
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+ static void qc_usb_audio_offload_probe(struct snd_usb_audio *chip)
+ {
+ ...
+ snd_soc_usb_connect(usb_get_usb_backend(udev), sdev);
+ ...
+ }
+
+ static void qc_usb_audio_offload_disconnect(struct snd_usb_audio *chip)
+ {
+ ...
+ snd_soc_usb_disconnect(usb_get_usb_backend(chip->dev), dev->sdev);
+ ...
+ }
+..
+
+In order to account for conditions where driver or device existence is
+not guaranteed, USB SND exposes snd_usb_rediscover_devices() to resend the
+connect events for any identified USB audio interfaces. Consider the
+the following situation:
+
+ **usb_audio_probe()**
+ | --> USB audio streams allocated and saved to usb_chip[]
+ | --> Propagate connect event to USB offload driver in USB SND
+ | --> **snd_soc_usb_connect()** exits as USB BE DAI link is not ready
+
+ BE DAI link component probe
+ | --> DAI link is probed and SoC USB port is allocated
+ | --> The USB audio device connect event is missed
+
+To ensure connection events are not missed, **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()**
+is executed when the SoC USB device is registered. Now, when the BE DAI
+link component probe occurs, the following highlights the sequence:
+
+ BE DAI link component probe
+ | --> DAI link is probed and SoC USB port is allocated
+ | --> SoC USB device added, and **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** runs
+
+ **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()**
+ | --> Traverses through usb_chip[] and for non-NULL entries issue
+ | **connection_status_cb()**
+
+In the case where the USB offload driver is unbound, while USB SND is ready,
+the **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** is called during module init. This allows
+for the offloading path to also be enabled with the following flow:
+
+ **usb_audio_probe()**
+ | --> USB audio streams allocated and saved to usb_chip[]
+ | --> Propagate connect event to USB offload driver in USB SND
+ | --> USB offload driver **NOT** ready!
+
+ BE DAI link component probe
+ | --> DAI link is probed and SoC USB port is allocated
+ | --> No USB connect event due to missing USB offload driver
+
+ USB offload driver probe
+ | --> **qc_usb_audio_offload_init()**
+ | --> Calls **snd_usb_rediscover_devices()** to notify of devices
+
+USB Offload Related Kcontrols
+=============================
+Details
+-------
+A set of kcontrols can be utilized by applications to help select the proper sound
+devices to enable USB audio offloading. SoC USB exposes the get_offload_dev()
+callback that designs can use to ensure that the proper indices are returned to the
+application.

+
+The above example shows a scenario where the system has one ASoC platform card
+(card#0) and two USB sound devices connected (card#1 and card#2). When reading
+the available kcontrols for each USB audio device, the following kcontrols lists
+the mapped offload card and pcm device indexes for the specific USB device:
+
+ ``USB Offload Playback Card Route PCM#*``
+
+ ``USB Offload Playback PCM Route PCM#*``
+
+The kcontrol is indexed, because a USB audio device could potentially have
+several PCM devices. The above kcontrols are defined as:
+
+ - ``USB Offload Playback Card Route PCM#`` **(R)**: Returns the ASoC platform sound
+ card index for a mapped offload path. The output **"0"** (card index) signifies
+ that there is an available offload path for the USB SND device through card#0.
+ If **"-1"** is seen, then no offload path is available for the USB SND device.
+ This kcontrol exists for each USB audio device that exists in the system, and
+ its expected to derive the current status of offload based on the output value
+ for the kcontrol along with the PCM route kcontrol.
+
+ - ``USB Offload Playback PCM Route PCM#`` **(R)**: Returns the ASoC platform sound
+ PCM device index for a mapped offload path. The output **"1"** (PCM device index)
+ signifies that there is an available offload path for the USB SND device through
+ PCM device#0. If **"-1"** is seen, then no offload path is available for the USB\
+ SND device. This kcontrol exists for each USB audio device that exists in the
+ system, and its expected to derive the current status of offload based on the
+ output value for this kcontrol, in addition to the card route kcontrol.
+

+Existing USB Sound Kcontrol
+---------------------------
+With the introduction of USB offload support, the above USB offload kcontrol
+will be added to the pre existing list of kcontrols identified by the USB sound
+framework. These kcontrols are still the main controls that are used to
+modify characteristics pertaining to the USB audio device.
+
+ ::
+
+ Number of controls: 9
+ ctl type num name value
+ 0 INT 2 Capture Channel Map 0, 0 (range 0->36)
+ 1 INT 2 Playback Channel Map 0, 0 (range 0->36)
+ 2 BOOL 1 Headset Capture Switch On
+ 3 INT 1 Headset Capture Volume 10 (range 0->13)
+ 4 BOOL 1 Sidetone Playback Switch On
+ 5 INT 1 Sidetone Playback Volume 4096 (range 0->8192)
+ 6 BOOL 1 Headset Playback Switch On
+ 7 INT 2 Headset Playback Volume 20, 20 (range 0->24)
+ 8 INT 1 USB Offload Playback Card Route PCM#0 0 (range -1->32)
+ 9 INT 1 USB Offload Playback PCM Route PCM#0 1 (range -1->255)
+
+Since USB audio device controls are handled over the USB control endpoint, use the
+existing mechanisms present in the USB mixer to set parameters, such as volume.
