Hi Linus,

> For example, those BT updates looked in no way like regression fixes.

the Bluetooth fixes do fix one regression that broke user space
assumptions.

I included additional support for one new driver since I was under the
assumption that new driver support is fine since it can't introduce a
regression. If that has changed then please spell this out and we have
to apply this rule to all subsystems.

Also I cleaned up the MAINTAINERS file entries for Bluetooth. Are these
considered harmful now and should be postponed to the next merge window?
They can obviously not introduce any regressions?

Regards

Marcel
