So there is an actual user here. If you do not want to merge these patches at this point, that is totally fine. We can happily carry them through bluetooth-next and wireless-next trees as well. Posting them on netdev is mainly for checking that the changes we have to make outside the Bluetooth subsystem are in sync. So that they are reviewed and have been seen before. If you have any general objections to these assignments or changes, please let us now.
