Allow creators of xHCI secondary interrupters to specify the interrupt
moderation interval value in nanoseconds when creating the interrupter.

If not sure what value to use then use the xhci driver default
xhci->imod_interval

This is already in 6.12-rc1, which makes me confused as to what tree you
made this series against.

Sorry, I didn't fetch the latest changes from usb-next.

It wasn't even usb-next, it was 6.12-rc1, so I don't know what tree you
based this on :(

In this case, should I rebase and resbumit?

As the series can't be applied as-is, probably.  But I think you might
want to collect some acks from the sound people and xhci developers, as
I can't do anything with this until they look at the changes.

Honestly speaking, I couldn't follow fully the discussions about the
fundamental design -- IIRC, Pierre and others had concerns to the way
to manage the offload device via kcontrols.  Did we get consensus?

I don't think so.

I believe that's the biggest obstacle in the audio side, i.e. what's
visible to users.  The kernel internals can be corrected at any time
later.

I would like to see that agreed on before I even look at the usb side.

My main concern is still that one USB audio device can be accessed via two different cards exposed in userspace. Usual USB one, and the one from device which does "offload". Suggested implementation achieves it by adding additional controls, which need to be set in specific way to achieve offload. Overall while I understand the mechanism, I'm not exactly convinced that it is the best way from end user point of view.

"Implementation" part in Documentation added in patch 19 shows how it looks in userspace now.

If you don't mind two sound cards being used to access same piece of HW, current implementation looks ok to me.

where I described how I would prefer it to look.
