Marcel,

eeprom based 3011 chips comes up with PID 3000 giving control to DFU 
driver [ath3k].  ath3k downloads the
firmware changing PID to 3002.  Now btusb gets control.

In sflash based devices to reduce windows suspend/resume time we had a 
small firmware in flash which
enables the device to get detected as Generic Bluetooth USB device with 
PID 3002.  So control reaches btusb when device is plugged in, leaving 
no option for us to load the actual firmware.

Solution would be to blacklist 3002 in btusb, enable ath3k to get 
control for both the devices, download the firmware and change PID to 
3003 so that control with come to btusb.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Bala.
