if this is a platform issue, then doing this based on VID:PID pairs is wrong no matter what. Then again, if we have really dedicated VID:PID combination for certain platforms, we could also just whitelist them in the driver. The btusb.c already contains an extra blacklist check. It is easy to add another USB ID table for a QCA whitelist.
