Because it was sent to me by a developer?

Seriously, what's the issue here, I didn't notice it was a fork of your
code, sorry, I didn't check.  I figured it would be eventually cleaned
up properly and then it will be sent to linux-bluetooth for proper
merging.

Yu-Chen, what's the satus of getting this cleaned up "properly"?  You
haven't really done anything on this since I took the driver in May.

thanks,
