Oh, cool. Thank you for pointing this out to me. I still
believe reverting the workaround for the 0000:0000
usb-id device is the right thing to do though.

I've tested Frédéric Danis' series and it needed quite
some work on one of my devices. I've just submitted
a 9 patch series to add all the features the platform
code paths of hci_bcm.c have and which were missing from
the serdev code paths.

Hans
