QCA ROME chip uploads its firmware inside btusb_open().

The behavior is like below:
- btusb_probe()
- btusb_open()
- btusb_suspend(), reset_resume gets set.
- btusb_open() again, hub resets the device, then the issue happens.

I didnât dig really deep for the issue, I simply tried usb core quirks, it reset
the USB device before btusb_probe().

It might be that using the USB quirk only papers over the real issue.

I think so. Thatâs why I need some insight from the original patch author.
