Re: btattach: auto triggering at boot time by Linux distributions

Hi Marcel,

the real evolution would be that we get a serial bus (as discussed a
few weeks ago) which then the UART kernel drivers can enumerate its
devices on.

If I understood correctly, you would like to stop exposing /dev/ttyX
for Bluetooth UART drivers in the long run. Would it mean that the
user-space btattach will then be deprecated and the firmware loading
will be moved into the kernel itself? Or another approach instead?

firmware loading is already in the kernel. At least for Broadcom and
Intel based devices.

I wanted to mean: moving the firmware loading *triggering* all in kernel,
with the future UART device enumeration. Or do you still see a benefit to
keep the "attach" step in user space, to cover some specific use cases
maybe?

I'll keep following the serial bus discussions, this is a every interesting
evolution.

Thanks again,
Jérôme
