Hey,

Interesting suggestion. The reason I have proposed it this way is that
we have already a patch that we ship for a while now and know that it
works. Also this way is a bit easier for spreading the fix around as
updating bluez is simpler than the kernel. Last but not least I do not
have the diNovo set to work on the module. Having said that I understand
your point and I agree.

Thanks,
Konrad
