something like that and frankly this is trying to hard. This driver is currently really DT specific and can be fixed up later. It is causing a lot of noise in this patch series. I would really urge to focus on the core changes get prominent drivers support. I think hci_bcm.c is a good example since a) we need to fix up Edison and b) new ACPI based tablets might be able to allow for easy testing.
