use btmon and it will show it.

So I wonder if we need to remove the HCI_RUNNING logic from the drivers. It is only left in a few USB drivers and I removed the rest and moved it into the core. I am not in favour of papering over this issue. I need to understand what is wrong. And actually HCI_RUNNING needs to be taken away from the drivers. So the question is if btusb.c still needs it or if that is just a leftover. Meaning is it protecting anything?
