Maybe there is some way to detect that the kernel is not doing it, or
at least force bluetoothd to resolve once to make sure it can be used
with older kernel versions so it doesn't have to always update as it
was used to be but if we are to authenticate or authorize a device it
should have a name so the ui can display it to the user.
