It wouldn't hurt to describe what you mean by 'port' in this diagram...

I think you meant fetch offloaded sound card and PCM device information
for a given USB card:device pair?

why not use the usual direction 0: playback and 1: capture?

How does this work if the ASoC part is probe after the USB card? The
component string would be modified after the creation of the card?
A control is more dynamic by nature, not sure about this component
string. Jaroslav?

Not clear to me if the notion of 'port' helps, why not just
snd_soc_usb_add_device() and remove_device()?

> +-----------------------------------

Oh man, now I get what 'get_offload_dev" means: it really means
"update_offload_info' or 'update_info_kcontrol".
The 'get' routines usually provide a handle on something to another part
of the kernel.
Not here, it's an update of something to be looked-up by userspace...
