But the offload "engine" is associated with the specific USB bus
controller instance in the system, so perhaps you are just not adding
this to the correct location?

The sound core shouldn't care about this at all, add the logic to the
USB host controller driver instead, why isn't this just another USB bus
function?

Great, again, tie it to the specific xhci host controler instance.

And that is incorrect, please do not do that.

You should NEVER be able to populate a USB card unless the USB bus
controller has given you the USB interface structure to control, so I do
not understand how this is an issue.
