Some platforms may have support for offloading USB audio devices to a
dedicated audio DSP.  Introduce a set of APIs that allow for management of
USB sound card and PCM devices enumerated by the USB SND class driver.
This allows for the ASoC components to be aware of what USB devices are
available for offloading.

Do we really want to build this into ASoC core unconditionally?
This is very specific to Qualcomm USB-offload stuff, so it's better to
factor out.


Ideally, the SOC USB part shouldn't be Qualcomm specific. Since I don't have access or insight into how other vendors are achieving the same thing, I can only base the soc-usb layer to work with the information that is required to get the audio stream up and running on the QC platforms. In its simplest form, its basically just a SW entity that notifies ASoC components about changes occurring from USB SND, and I think all vendors that have an ASoC based platform card handling the offload will need this notification.

Thanks
