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
