Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Name feature ctl using output if input is PCM

When building feature controls from a unit without a name, we try to
derive a name first from the feature unit's input, then fall back to the
output terminal.

If a feature unit connects directly to a "USB Streaming" input terminal
rather than a mixer or other virtual type, the control receives the
somewhat meaningless name "PCM", even if the output had a descriptive
type such as "Headset" or "Speaker".

Here is an example of such AudioControl descriptor from a USB headset
which ends up named "PCM Playback" and is therefore not recognized as
headphones by userspace:

      AudioControl Interface Descriptor:
        bLength                12
        bDescriptorType        36
        bDescriptorSubtype      2 (INPUT_TERMINAL)
        bTerminalID             4
        wTerminalType      0x0101 USB Streaming
        bAssocTerminal          5
        bNrChannels             2
        wChannelConfig     0x0003
          Left Front (L)
          Right Front (R)
        iChannelNames           0
        iTerminal               0
      AudioControl Interface Descriptor:
        bLength                 9
        bDescriptorType        36
        bDescriptorSubtype      3 (OUTPUT_TERMINAL)
        bTerminalID             5
        wTerminalType      0x0402 Headset
        bAssocTerminal          4
        bSourceID               6
        iTerminal               0
      AudioControl Interface Descriptor:
        bLength                13
        bDescriptorType        36
        bDescriptorSubtype      6 (FEATURE_UNIT)
        bUnitID                 6
        bSourceID               4
        bControlSize            2
        bmaControls(0)     0x0002
          Volume Control
        bmaControls(1)     0x0000
        bmaControls(2)     0x0000
        iFeature                0

Other headsets and DACs I tried that used their output terminal for
naming only did so due to their input being an unnamed sidetone mixer.

Instead of always starting with the input terminal, check the type of it
first. If it seems uninteresting, invert the order and use the output
terminal first for naming.

This makes userspace recognize headsets with simple controls as
headphones, and leads to more consistent naming of playback devices
based on their outputs irrespective of sidetone mixers.
