it is kernel coding style like everything else, but some variable naming
should be consistent. And that is nothing that is published, that is
something that has been done since Max wrote it. Check the rest of the
code.

Lets me make this perfectly clear here. Bluetooth patches are sent to
the linux-bluetooth mailing list. There is no need to send them to
netdev and/or LKML at the same time. Stop this cross-posting. They don't
get more review there anyway. I take care of sending them for net-2.6
inclusion if I feel that they are appropriate.
