I think this approach in this patchset will not play well with the driver 
model. 
Instead, I'd love to see a mean to instantiate each *HCI controller and have a 
USB core which would track those instances. The USB core would then be able to 
call whatever generic ops on those instances as needed. Does that make sense 
please ?
