and as I explained before, this crazy can not continue. Bluetooth drivers can provide a hdev->setup callback for loading firmware and doing other setup details. 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.

In addition with 3.17 you can also provide hdev->set_bdaddr to allow changing the public BD_ADDR. You can also set HCI_QUIRK_INVALID_BDADDR and bring up the controller in an unconfigured state. That way you can have userspace provide the address and avoid the hacking around the missing address issue.

Maybe at some point someone realizes that focusing on the N900 Bluetooth hardware would help in making this code simpler. Adding support for older Maemo devices can be done later.

Marcel
