I don't think this is an issue in the case of a per-adapter handsfree
agent. Typically the agent would be registered upon the creation of the
device object. Yes, in theory a HFP connection establishment may occur
before ofono manages to register an agent for the device but the
connection doesn't need to be dropped because of it. Since it's the
HF-role device (i.e. us) that sends the initial AT command in HFP SLC
establishment bluetoothd could just sit quietly waiting until an agent
registers itself. When an agent finally gets registered bluetoothd would
(after replying to the registration method call) immediately call the
NewConnection() method for the agent.
