From: Mikel Astiz <mikel.astiz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
It has been recently discussed how ports should be used in the Bluetooth card module, whether they should be merged or not, and how the bluetooth-related information is exposed to both external components (i.e. UI) and internal policy modules.
In a nutshell, the problem is as follows: the internal policies are interested in profile-specific information (HSP/HFP vs A2DP) while the ports should ideally be associated to physical entities (and the Bluetooth profile should make no difference).
A natural way to solve this problem is by adding a new flag to the card profiles, representing the availability of each profile. This is similar to port-availability but with different semantics, representing the state of each invidivual Bluetooth profile.
This patchset extends the core with such a flag, which sounds useful even beyond the scope of this specific problem (a UI could use this information to gray out profiles).
If the core adopted such a flag, the merge of the Bluetooth ports would be straightforward, as implemented in patch v0 5/5.
Mikel Astiz (5):
card: Add card profile availability
cli: Show card profile availability status
bluetooth: Expose card profile availability
bluetooth: Use profile availability to auto-switch profiles
bluetooth: Merge all ports into "bluetooth-input" and
"bluetooth-output"
