The problem is caused by two separate issues:

1) There is a race between 
hidp_session() in bluetooth/hidp/core.c
and
hci_unregister_dev() in bluetooth/hci_core.c

Really the latter needs to wait for the former to terminate before pulling the
plug on the hci device (it is hidp_session that eventually removes the 'input'
device).


2) the power_supply system seems to be triggering a lookup of battery
'capacity' in the input device. This calls into the driver, which deep down
invokes more code in the 'hidp' module: hidp_get_raw_report()

This function tries to communicate with the bluetooth device (keyboard in my
case), but because the device is being 'torn down' such communication fails.
Accordingly hidp_get_raw_report has a 5 second timeout ... so this function
stalls for 5 seconds until that timeout occurs.

---

I would guess that for some reason, removing the 'hid' or associated 'input'
device is leading to the power_supply code wanting to lookup the battery
capacity which introduces a 5 second wait. This would delay hidp_session by 5
seconds ... in the mean time allowing hci_unregister_dev() to win the race and
hence the hci device is removed before the input & hid devices.
