can you boot a bluetooth-next kernel and see if the planned changes are fixing 
this or not. I would like to have that confirmed before we start any 
speculations here.

If the RFCOMM TTY rework that we have in bluetooth-next fixes this issue, then 
we can have a look at if this can be patched for 3.11 or a stable kernel 
without having to include the whole patch series. Or if the TTY subsystem 
changed from 2.6.32 so much that we have to take the whole changes.

However, please also note there is a different between RFCOMM sockets and 
RFCOMM TTYs. I would be curious if only the TTY part is affected or also the 
socket part.

Regards

Marcel
