I can confirm that my sc7180-trogdor-based devices manage to detect
the default address after this series and thus still look to the
device-tree for their address. Thus:

Tested-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@...omium.org>

I'll continue to note that I still wish that detecting the default
address wasn't important for trogdor. I still feel that the fact that
they have a valid BT address stored in their device tree (populated by
firmware) should take precedence. ...but I won't insist.

I'm happy to let Bluetooth/Qualcomm folks decide if they like this
implementation and I don't have tons of Bluetooth context, so I'll not
add a Reviewed-by tag.
