Using warn() defeats the whole purpose of this patch. I want to run
bluetoothd without getting a warning or error, and obviously, there is
nothing to warn _me_ about. I'm ok if you want err() or warn() here so
other users get warned, but in that case we should just drop the
patch.

So it's up to you to decide. If info() is ok, I will fix the issues
you mentioned below, otherwise just drop it.

Cheers
David
