Sorry, I should have decoded that string.

I think the report was for a device for which firmware was not loaded as the 
lmp_subversion was not recognized. I will be rechecking the full dmesg output.

I have a few minor comments. My log shows the following:

[ 4262.901871] Bluetooth: hci0: hci_ver=06 hci_rev=000b lmp_ver=06 lmp_subver=8723
[ 4262.901874] Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: examining hci_ver=06 hci_rev=000b 
lmp_ver=06 lmp_subver=8723

Those two show the same information. The one in btusb_setup_realtek() should be 
removed.

I would prefer to see a logging of the file name of the firmware that was loaded 
in btusb_setup_rtl8723b(). That will make it easier to interpret any "rtl: 
assuming no firmware upload needed." messages in btusb_setup_realtek().

When bringing my laptop out of sleep, the firmware was reloaded, but Bluetooth 
did not work until the driver was unloaded and reloaded. If you have any 
thoughts please let me know.
