I am not sure this is fully understood yet. Do _not_ use an ioctl to boot the Bluetooth
controller. Power on/off of Bluetooth hardware happens via the standard interface used
by bluetoothd. The Bluetooth transport driver (in your case hci_qca) has to do everything
needed when a) serdev->probe is called and b) hdev->open is called. Any other path to
power your hardware is (bluntly put) wrong.
