I would prefer if you create a drivers/bluetooth/hci_mrvl.c kernel driver that works with btattach. We are trying to phase out hciattach and not add more vendor specifics.

For at least Intel and Broadcom hardware we have full in kernel support for firmware loading and configuration. And the benefit is that code can be shared between UART and USB.
