It is now 2023 :)


Sorry for the delayed response. Will change the year for all the patches...time flies.

You do not document all items in the structure so you will get build
warnings :(

And what exactly is "vendor data"? You use that term in a few places in
this series, there is no such thing as a "vendor" in the kernel. This
could be a device or driver specific data, but not a "vendor".


The term vendor data can be renamed to something else. It essentially signifies that each platform can potentially have a different implementation of how these callbacks behave. It makes sense to rename it into driver specific data, since it depends on how the offload driver is added.

What is this a list of? Why a list? This should be dynamic and tied to
the device itself somehow, not a separate list you have to walk.


This is a list of USB backends that have been registered. At the moment we only have one USB backend, as the audio DSP only supports playback on a single device through the offload path (on our chipset). Potentially, if there are other platforms that can support multiple, they can register several USB backends to control each offload path accordingly.

It was difficult to tie the "struct snd_soc_usb" into a device, because of how different the device lifetime is for the USB audio device (udev) and the USB backend (one is dynamically created/freed based on USB device plugged into the port, the other exists until the backend is removed), and the fact that communication has to happen both ways. This warrented a need to have this structure exist as a separate entity, hence the reason why I went with a list.

No need for a #define like this, just spell it out.



Sure.

Why does this function take a "struct device" but the get function take
a USB device?


I can modify that. It was done this way with the intention to not have the USB SND offload driver worry about finding the USB backend device. But in a way, it does indirectly place a design where the USB SND offload is the consumer of the platform data, and the USB backend is the source.

Meta-comment, why are all of these in the sound directory? They are
only operating on USB devices, nothing else. So why here?


The USB SND exists in the sound directory as well as the ASoC framework. The main goal of this is to abstract USB SND to components that ASoC requires, versus having to expose all of USB SND.
