In case of notifying SND platform drivers of connection events, some of
these use cases, such as offloading, require an ASoC USB backend device to
be initialized before the events can be handled.  If the USB backend device
has not yet been probed, this leads to missing initial USB audio device
connection events.

Expose an API that traverses the usb_chip array for connected devices, and
to call the respective connection callback registered to the SND platform
driver.

what happens if the USB device is removed while the platform device adds
a port?

This sounds super-racy to me. It's the same set of problems we're having
between audio and display/DRM, I would be surprised if this function
dealt with all corner cases of insertion/removal, bind/unbind.


The chip array entries are all populated and removed while under the register_mutex, so going over your race condition, we should see:

Thread#1:
q6usb_component_probe()
--> snd_soc_usb_add_port()
  --> snd_usb_rediscover_devices()
    --> mutex_lock(register_mutex)

Thread#2
--> usb_audio_disconnect()
  --> mutex_lock(register_mutex)

So either thread#1 or thread#2 will complete first.  If

Thread#1 completes before thread#2:
SOC USB will notify DPCM backend of the device connection. Shortly after, once thread#2 runs, we will get a disconnect event for the connected device.

Thread#2 completes before thread#1:
Then during snd_usb_rediscover_devices() we won't notify of any connection for that particular chip index.

Thanks
Wesley Cheng
