As was previously mentioned by others patches to this list are expected
to be against the upstream git tree. This looks like something else. One
thing I'd like to add though:

When you need to need to create a mechanism which controls some aspect
of an RFCOMM, L2CAP or ACL link your first option should be to consider
implementing it as a socket option. If that's not possible (though in
this case I think it is) then the only other alternative is to abstract
it behind the adapter_ops interface since the core daemon shouldn't any
longer do direct HCI access. So you'd implement sending this command in
hciops and then add the appropriate mgmt command and add support for it
into mgmtops.c and the kernel.
