I also remember João saying that the patches would only cover the
HFP/Handsfree Unit role (which wouldn't be useful for headsets), but I'm
not sure that's correct... The code creates profiles that claim to cover
both HSP and HFP, and all roles of those (there are four profile+role
combinations in total). There may be limitations in oFono that prevent
some roles for working. I guess oFono only supports HFP, but it's
unclear whether it supports the role relevant for using headsets.

As far as I know, Luiz hasn't added any extra functionality in the
patches that he has submitted.
