>> The common H:4 handling is abstracted in h4_recv.h already anyway and we can add more pieces if needed. However I also wonder since you have extra framing that the complex H:4 state keeping might be not needed at all. So it could be simplified.

only if it is already framed by your extra header, but I seem to recall that it will frame it. For example the bfusb.c old driver does frame H:4 as well and then no extra state keeping for H:4 is needed. Just pass the frames up into the core via hci_recv_frame (or hci_recv_diag for vendor diagnostic) and move on with it.

You can of course use h4_recv.h if you need to, but only do that if you are true H:4 stream and have no idea where a frame ends and starts.
