I have been told they don’t inherit the LED issue that we tried to fix with this. Please read the comments in btusb_shutdown_intel and amend comments if needed and provide a detailed commit message.
Yes you're absolutely right about the LED issue on the older ROM products.
But in the recent day we have observed that in case BT
operation(Inquiry/LE Scan) were triggered through the stack and
further BT was turned off through "hciconfig hci0 down". In this case
controller would active doing BT operation and consume power and also
might cause race condition on the next BT on as the controller might
try to push the events that were queued up before processing the reset
command. So to make sure when BT is turned off either through stack or
through command line thought it would be better approach to reset the
controller(This is applicable for ROM or RAM products).
