nice idea, but I don't want it that way. I am not dealing with staging
at all. They can submit this driver for upstream inclusion and then
delete it in a second step from staging. Or the other way around.

And as long as this driver registers a Bluetooth HCI device in its
module_init routine it is not ready for upstream. This needs to be fixed
first and I mentioned that already before.

Regards

Marcel
