so when you do hci_register_dev, then hdev->setup is only called once. I really mean only once per lifetime of the hci_dev. So you would need to unregister the hci_dev first before hdev->setup will ever be called again. So I am not sure this is actually the problem here. The problem here is entirely within request_firmware() unless of course we run through the USB probe handlers again. Which I do not see happening here. And we have hdev->setup this way since normally the Bluetooth devices keep their firmware patches and not forget about them and suspend-resume cycles. If the USB device of course jumps of the bus during it then all bets are off anyway.
