As we've discovered recently
(https://github.com/thegecko/web-bluetooth-dfu/issues/12#issuecomment-194348474),
it looks like BlueZ trunk doesn't clean/update its cache upon device
disconnection.

Is this on purpose?
If not, can it be fixed?

I actually need more info, we do check if the cache is valid on every
reconnection, can someone provide the HCI trace of the issue perhaps
it is not using the fixes for the cache that have been merged
upstream.

There at least 2 important fixes to the cache that where applied upstream:

    core/device: Fix not clearing Attributes before storing

    This can leave the storage in a bad state if device start changing its
    attributes the old one are never removed as the code reloads them with
    g_key_file_load_from_file.

    core/device: Fix not reseting database if attributes cannot be loaded

    If one or more attributes cannot be loaded it means the database is
    probably in a bad state so just clear it so the attributes can be
    discovered again.

If you don't have them it is probably not going to work since the
device appears to be changing its database while win DFU mode.
