No, nothing concrete beyond the scope, and I agree it is harmless as
long as the bits stay reserved. We only put it in the drivers because
our downstream ships driver modules through DKMS and not bluetooth.ko,
which let many users test it quickly. Let's keep 88397423671f as it
is then. I'll drop patch 2 and 3 and send a v2 with patch 1 and 4.
