That is just fine. However at that point you should not claim to be a Bluetooth H:2 device with USB Bluetooth descriptors. Just having different USB PIDs for without firmware and with firmware stages would have been fine. The ancient Broadcom 203x devices even got that part right. So what about sticking with the current VID:PID for the device without firmware and we blacklist it in btusb driver. And then the firmware loading ensures that after reset it uses a different PID for the device with valid HCI firmware.
