I don't really like it, but I already opened my mind to accept such a
patch. However this must be tested a lot so we can be sure that it
doesn't break any state machine.

The RFCOMM part is wrong. You can't set the LM mode of RFCOMM to the
underlaying L2CAP. This means that the authentication/encryption will be
triggered when the L2CAP connection is created and not on the SABM at
RFCOMM level.

Please drop the RFCOMM part for now and send in patch that only modifies
the L2CAP layer. We need to get this right and tested first anyhow.

Regards

Marcel
