Is there a deeper reason we enable and disable endpoints > therein? just let me give you details on rational behind my question. A Bluetooth USB device uses two interfaces. The first one for control (commands), interrupt (event) and bulk (ACL data) endpoints. The second interface contains the isoc (SCO data) endpoints.

The Bluetooth specification has the details, but when using 16-bit input data and one SCO connection, you have to select alternate setting #2. If no SCO connections are open, we have to go with setting #0.

The old hci_usb did it this way and was an obvious issue showing up on powertop. The Bluetooth subsystem calls our notify() callback when the number of connection or the voice setting changes. However this context can't sleep and thus we can't call usb_set_interface(). Right now are using a workqueue, but that is not an optimal solution since as Oliver pointed correctly out, we have no idea when this gets scheduled. My question is if we can have a usb_set_interface() version that we can call from interrupt context and that will queue the URBs that we submit in between until the new alternate setting has been selected. I personally think the Bluetooth USB specification is broken and a bad design, but that is what we have at the moment.
