[PATCH v3 4/7] Bluetooth: hci_core: Introduce __hci_reset_dev() with a hardware error code

From: Zijun Hu

Date: Sun Aug 02 2026 - 02:35:21 EST


hci_reset_dev() injects a constant hardware error code 0x00 to restart
the device. But a transport driver may need a different error code.

Fix by introducing __hci_reset_dev(hdev, hw_err_code), which will be
used by a follow-up patch.
