I am fine with both ways. Will decide which code looks cleaner :)

Putting it after hci_unregister_dev is an issue. The unregister will
call __hci_dev_put and then in return will call the destruct callback
which will free the data pointer.

So either we use hci_dev_hold or make sure that disconnect can only
disable the SCO interface. That comes directly with the first comment
from you.
