For USB offload situations, there will be a set of controls for playback 
status and playback select.  The offload jack will also be there to tell 
us if there is an offload path available for the platform ASoC sound card.

Yes, since the offload portion is handled as a DPCM DAI link to the 
platform ASoC card, it will be included as a kcontrol for that.
