it should not be added here. Since most likely more is needed. For example within the hci_bcm.c and hci_intel.c drivers we handle the GPIO when attaching the UART to the Bluetooth subsystem. This means at minimum some sort of hci_rtl.c is needed. Can be for the beginning just an enhanced hci_h4.c.

Marcel
