> I wonder what is the right work that needs to be done in the reset_resume callback. I am curious if devices are forgetting their firmware or not. There is a patch to make the Realtek devices forcefully reset_resume since they forget their firmware. So there is at least one kind of devices where the firmware does not survive normal suspend/resume behaviour.

If it does that, then we have the same problem that the firmware will not be found since userspace is not yet ready. However we could note the fact that we tried to lookup the firmware and just know that it was not found. So that might help already.

Which will most likely make the Realtek devices function just fine. It has the advantage that we do not have to go through the disconnect() and probe() cycle which will in turn unregister and re-register the HCI device.

This needs extra work to restart the stack without needing to inject an event. The injection of the event will still be needed in case of HCI user channel operation, but that is yet another story.

Which behavior are you looking to simulate? At least on the chipset I have,
the bluetooth always gets reset with a simple suspend to ram. For testing
I've been forcing the firmware warning by requesting non-existent firmware.
