In case it's not clear, all of HCI_LL is the TI specific part, not
just what I'm adding. So you are talking about putting each UART BT
protocol into a separate module. I'd assume that is doable, but seems
orthogonal to this patch set. I'd also assume there was some reason
that was not done already.
