> why would we even have it create a /dev/ttyX for these devices in the first place. Lets just not create an uevent for it and lets not create a dev_t for it. Because if you don't it's a regression. It's not permissible to break existing userspace. > Internally the setup stage does a hciconfig hci0 up and it is already abstracted out that way. So there has been a lot of work in the Bluetooth subsystem to allow for this. That part is really solved. So you'd create a kernel side tty struct and bind it to the tty_port on hci0 up and drop it on hci0 down ?
