I guess there is a relation in that one creates the jack and the other will disable it when needed.  Might need to have a respective enable API, because I believe there are some situations during PM suspend where a jack may want to be disabled and re-enabled on PM resume.

That is the idea... If we return -1,-1 that is an invalid card/pcm device index, so it would signify that offloading is not available for a USB device.

The remove will remove it from the available list of SOC USB ports.  The free will just make sure the memory allocated for the SOC USB port is freed.

Sure, I will explicitly mention that the kcontrol always exists, and if the path is not available, then this would show -1, -1

Will be added sounds better.  Will change that.
