Proposed hsphfpd daemon is not (only) for parsing AT commands, but for
implementing logic around HSP and HFP profiles and export either native
interfaces (linux uinput) or DBus interfaces for features provided by
HSP and HFP specifications and also for current and future vendor
extensions. And part of this HSP/HFP implementation is of course needed
parsing and interpreting some of AT commands. Look into my design and
API proposal. Current daemons which provides AT parsing (like ofono or
modem manager) are not suitable for for whole HSP and HFP profiles with
all those extensions (like all possible ways for reporting battery
level), so for HFP is needed some of custom AT parser.

I do not see how could just plain plugin for bluez without AT parser
could help. This seems to just complicate whole implementation. I
already implemented prototype implementation of hsphfpd to see how
complicated it is and what is needed...

So if bluez daemon is not the right place for hsphpfd, it would be
separate daemon outside of bluez.
