that sounds heavily like a bug somehow. I remember having decoded the Broadcom firmware and there it really has to go via standard HCI command. And that is the default Broadcom FM radio command.

My assumption was that it was an initial misunderstanding by the driver itself. Can someone send me all the Nokia firmware files and I have a look at them.

We can also always manually encode the firmware to do it correctly. At the end of the day, the firmware should go into linux-firmware tree anyway.

Yes. For the Broadcom chip, just select the btbcm_set_bdaddr and set the module dependency correctly. We already do that for hci_bcm.c anyway. For the TI one, extra the opcode for from the original driver and just add a TI function inside the driver. I think adding a btti.c module is overkill at the moment. We can extract that later. Even btusb.c carries some set_bdaddr function in the main driver where splitting them out made no sense at the moment.

With the .align setting you also need to introduce NOK_RECV_ACL etc. with complete definition anyway. Just make sure to use the HCI_* defines where possible.

An alternative is to add the align parameter to h4_recv_buf. Which might be the better idea anyway since I doubt the alignment only applies to a single packet type. It should apply to all of them since otherwise it makes no sense.
