As far as I understand, os->service_data is the OBEX service-specific
context, which I think can in principle validly be NULL. Also, isn't it
so that OBEX Object Push permits PUT without a preceding CONNECT (at
least that's what I remember from the times I was working with OBEX)?

It seems to me that the bug is with opp.c passing the service_data to
manager_request_authorization(), and service_data is expected to be the
obex_transfer object. However, currently the code creates this object
only upon CONNECT (in opp_connect).

I think one possible way to solve this would be to trigger a call to
os->service->connect if CONNECT hasn't been explicitly issued, however
then the code needs to track this in some other way since service_data
seems too unreliable.
