+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:
+
+::
+
+ USB | ASoC

+SOC USB driver
+==============
+Structures
+----------
+``struct snd_soc_usb``
+
+ - ``list``: list head for SND SOC struct list
+ - ``component``: reference to ASoC component
+ - ``connection_status_cb``: callback to notify connection events
+ - ``update_offload_route_info``: callback to fetch selected USB sound card/PCM
+ device
+ - ``priv_data``: driver data
+
+The snd_soc_usb structure can be referenced using the ASoC platform card
+device, or a USB device (udev->dev). This is created by the ASoC BE DAI
+link, and the USB sound entity will be able to pass information to the
+ASoC BE DAI link using this structure.
+
+``struct snd_soc_usb_device``
+
+ - ``card_idx``: sound card index associated with USB sound device
+ - ``chip_idx``: USB sound chip array index
+ - ``cpcm_idx``: capture pcm device indexes associated with the USB sound device
+ - ``ppcm_idx``: playback pcm device indexes associated with the USB sound device
+ - ``num_playback``: number of playback streams
+ - ``num_capture``: number of capture streams
+ - ``list``: list head for the USB sound device list
+
+The struct snd_soc_usb_device is created by the USB sound offload driver.
+This will carry basic parameters/limitations that will be used to
+determine the possible offloading paths for this USB audio device.

+After removing a device, any SOC USB operations would not be able to reference the
+device removed.
+
+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.
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+
+**Example:**
+
+ **Sound Cards**:
+
+ ::
+
+ 0 [SM8250MTPWCD938]: sm8250 - SM8250-MTP-WCD9380-WSA8810-VA-D
+ SM8250-MTP-WCD9380-WSA8810-VA-DMIC
+ 1 [Seri ]: USB-Audio - Plantronics Blackwire 3225 Seri
+ Plantronics Plantronics Blackwire
+ 3225 Seri at usb-xhci-hcd.1.auto-1.1,
+ full sp
+ 2 [C320M ]: USB-Audio - Plantronics C320-M
+ Plantronics Plantronics C320-M at usb-xhci-hcd.1.auto-1.2, full speed
+
+ **PCM Devices**:
+
+ ::
+
+ card 0: SM8250MTPWCD938 [SM8250-MTP-WCD9380-WSA8810-VA-D], device 0: MultiMedia1 (*) []
+ Subdevices: 1/1
+ Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+ card 0: SM8250MTPWCD938 [SM8250-MTP-WCD9380-WSA8810-VA-D], device 1: MultiMedia2 (*) []
+ Subdevices: 1/1
+ Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+ card 1: Seri [Plantronics Blackwire 3225 Seri], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
+ Subdevices: 1/1
+ Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+ card 2: C320M [Plantronics C320-M], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
+ Subdevices: 1/1
+ Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+
+ **USB Sound Card** - card#1:
+
+ ::
+
+ USB Offload Playback Route PCM#0 -1, -1 (range -1->255)
+
+ **USB Sound Card** - card#2:
+
+ ::
+
+ USB Offload Playback Route PCM#0 0, 1 (range -1->255)
+
+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 kcontrol lists
+the mapped offload path for the specific device:
+
+ ``USB Offload Playback Route#*``
+
+The kcontrol is indexed, because a USB audio device could potentially have
+several PCM devices. The above kcontrols are defined as:
+
+ - ``USB Offload Playback Route PCM`` **(R)**: Returns the ASoC platform sound
+ card and PCM device index. The output **"0, 1"** (card index, PCM device index)
+ signifies that there is an available offload path for the USB SND device
+ through card#0 - PCM device#1. If **"-1, -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.
+
+USB Offload Playback Route Kcontrol
+-----------------------------------
+In order to allow for vendor specific implementations on audio offloading device
+selection, the SOC USB layer exposes the following:
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+ int (*update_offload_route_info)(struct snd_soc_component *component,
+ int card, int pcm, long *route);
+..
+
+These are specific for the **USB Offload Playback Route PCM#** kcontrol.
+
+When users issue get calls to the kcontrol, the registered SOC USB callbacks will
+execute the registered function calls to the DPCM BE DAI link.
+
+**Callback Registration:**
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+ static int q6usb_component_probe(struct snd_soc_component *component)
+ {
+ ...
+ usb = snd_soc_usb_allocate_port(component, 1, &data->priv);
+ if (IS_ERR(usb))
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ usb->connection_status_cb = q6usb_alsa_connection_cb;
+ usb->update_offload_route_info = q6usb_get_offload_dev;
+
+ ret = snd_soc_usb_add_port(usb);
+..
+
+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 2 USB Offload Playback Route PCM#0 -1, -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.
With the introduction of the soc-usb driver, add documentation highlighting details on how to utilize the new driver and how it interacts with different components in USB SND and ASoC. It provides examples on how to implement the drivers that will need to be introduced in order to enable USB audio offloading.
