actually I am wondering if we should just remove the HCI LDISC support. All the tests
are focusing around the fact that you can create a line discipline as unprivileged
user.

To be honest the HCI LDISC support is not in use anymore for anything deployed after
we got around to establish TTY serdev support.

I am worried that we are trying hard to fix something in the Bluetooth core that
is actually a bug in the hci_uart driver and should be fixed solely there. Or that
driver needs to be deprecated. Are other drivers and their lifetime rules also
exhibiting these issues?

Regards

Marcel
