is disable_offload_jack() the companion operation to setup_offload_jack()?

it's not clear to me if there's any relationship between the two.

please clarify what happens if there is no offloaded device for a
specific USB card. from [2] below it looks like the intended behavior
for a device without offload capabilities would be to return 0 but the
mapping would use the -1 magic value to state there is no offload?

I don't think the last sentence is correct, below [1] you show an
example where the free_port() routine is required...

[2]

maybe I got this wrong but you may want to clarify that the kcontrol is
always created, but the values indicate if the offload support is real
or not?

is this 'can be added' or 'will be added'? The latter seems more correct
to me, I don't see anything optional or conditional in the description
