In order to allow userspace/applications know about USB offloading status,
expose a sound kcontrol that fetches information about which sound card
index is associated with the ASoC platform card supporting offloading.  In
the USB audio offloading framework, the ASoC BE DAI link is the entity
responsible for registering to the SOC USB layer.  SOC USB will expose more
details about the current offloading status, which includes the USB sound
card and USB PCM device indexes currently being used.

It is expected for the USB 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 Capable Card'
0 (range -1->32)

Ths example signifies that card#0 has an USB offload capable path
available.

You already gave the following examples in patch 29:

"
USB offloading idle:
tinymix -D 0 get 'USB Offload Playback Route Status'
-->-1, -1 (range -1->32)

USB offloading active(USB card#1 pcm#0):
tinymix -D 0 get 'USB Offload Playback Route Status'
-->1, 0 (range -1->32)
"

Can you clarify how many controls there would be in the end?
Also isn't tinymix -D N going to give you the controls for card N?

For USB offload situations, there will be a set of controls for playback 
status and playback select.  The offload jack will also be there to tell 
us if there is an offload path available for the platform ASoC sound card.

Yes, since the offload portion is handled as a DPCM DAI link to the 
platform ASoC card, it will be included as a kcontrol for that.

That makes sense: if the application wanted to use a given endpoint, it
could check if there is a 'better' path exposed by another card. It'd be
a lot easier than reading controls from random cards.

Was this part of this patchset or more of an idea for a future addition?

Its part of this patchset.  Please refer to patch#34.  The 
mixer_usb_offload is initialized by the offload entity residing in USB 
SND (qc_usb_audio_offload), and will add it to the sound card associated 
with the USB device.

Thanks
