This is just papering over it. The problem is pretty clear, the firmware for some of the Bluetooth controllers is optional and that means during the original hotplug event it will not be found and the controller keeps operating. However for some reason instead of actually suspending and resuming the Bluetooth controller, we see a unplug + replug (since we are going through probe) and that is causing this funny behaviour. So how does making one of the core workqueues freezable fixes this the right way. I do not even know how many other side effects that might have. That hdev->req_workqueue is a Bluetooth core internal workqueue that we are using for multiple tasks. Rather tell me on why we are probing the USB devices that might need firmware without having userspace ready. It sounds to me that the USB driver probe callback should be delayed if we can not guarantee that it can request firmware. As I explained many times, the call path that causes this is going through probe callback of the driver itself.
