This function creates an user element with IEC958 type. This element is not controlled by device drivers in kernel. It can be operated by the same way as usual elements added by the device drivers.

The name field of id must be set with unique value to identify a new control element. After returning, all fields of id are filled. A element can be identified by the combination of name and index, or by numid.

A member in the new element is locked and filled with zero.

Errors:
-EBUSY
A control element with ID id already exists.
-EINVAL
ID has no name.
-ENOMEM
Out of memory, or there are too many user elements.
-ENXIO
This backend module does not support user elements of IEC958 type.
-ENODEV
Device unplugged.
