Well, the problem is the loader is a user space program (it seems attemps
to integrate a loader in the linux kernel have been rejected) that
uses the "hci0" (or hci1 or watever) interface to upload the firmware.

And I find it more elegant to have systemd call the loader, as then there
is a single place where it is called (a single file to edit if the loader
program is moved, renamed or its command line options change); plus it
has the extra bonus of being able to use systemctl status and journalctl
to see if the firmware upload went correctly or not.

that being said, if udev is the place to go, it's fine too; but then
udev is missing an important feature: it should expose the bdaddr of
a bluetooth device in it's normal form (eg: 00:02:72:32:DE:FB )

Should I switch to another mailing-list for further udev ?

Thanks
