You can just bring up the HCI transport. We are providing __hci_cmd_sync for easy loading of the firmware. Especially if the firmware just consists of HCI commands. Which is clearly the case with the Nokia firmware files.

I know that this crazyness can not continue; but I need to be able to
move "bad" code around to get the cleanups, ok? Because you also asked
me to reduce ammount of exports.
