I understand that you don't like this patch upstream, but I also think that it
is a very useful feature to switch btcoex on/off. Moreover I think 3 states
aren't needed at all, but we should at least be able to disable it completely.
Maybe we could also detect if bt is enabled/disabled in kernel and switch the
btcoex automatically?
By the way, how is this problem solved in other drivers?

One more point to make it switchable.
