Yeah exactly.. I think the best way would be to export something
like wlcore_register_bt/wlcore_unregister_bt.. And then have
wlcore_register_bt return -EAGAIN until wlcore is up.

Yup I've seen rmmod hci_uart produce kernel oops, but I just tried
to reproduce it again on v5.5 and it just took a long time to rmmod
with no oops.
