     ("Bluetooth: hci_ldisc:
    Use rwlocking to avoid closing proto races") introduced locks in
    hci_ldisc that are held while calling the proto functions. These locks
    are rwlock's, and hence do not allow sleeping while they are held.
    However, the proto functions that hci_bcm registers use mutexes and
    hence need to be able to sleep.
    
    In more detail: hci_uart_tty_receive() and hci_uart_dequeue() both
    acquire the rwlock, after which they call proto->recv() and
    proto->dequeue(), respectively. In the case of hci_bcm these point to
    bcm_recv() and bcm_dequeue(). The latter both acquire the
    bcm_device_lock, which is a mutex, so doing so results in a call to
    might_sleep(). But since we're holding a rwlock in hci_ldisc, that
    results in the following BUG (this for the dequeue case - a similar
    one for the receive case is omitted for brevity):

    We can't replace the mutex in hci_bcm, because there are other calls
    there that might sleep. Therefore this replaces the rwlock's in
    hci_ldisc with rw_semaphore's (which allow sleeping). This is a safer
    approach anyway as it reduces the restrictions on the proto callbacks.
    Also, because acquiring write-lock is very rare compared to acquiring
    the read-lock, the percpu variant of rw_semaphore is used.
    
    Lastly, because hci_uart_tx_wakeup() may be called from an IRQ context,
    we can't block (sleep) while trying acquire the read lock there, so we
    use the trylock variant.
