are we really sure here. If we have more than one SKB in the queue, I
still feel that the check here is pointless. Especially since we do
certain code changes already.

Lets give it a try. Can you whip up a patch for it.

That is what I am saying, we are running code that we know already is
only required for BR/EDR controllers. And now we have two checks here.

Actually maybe just flipping a bit and entering active before or after
might be a way here.

This is a fundamental hot path in our data processing. We need to be
smarter here.
