    Bluetooth: Allow ACL packets over USB in HCI_RAW mode · 9fd481e0
    Peter Hurley authored
    Removed tests which prevent transmission of ACL packets
    when the device is in HCI_RAW mode. These tests verified that
    there are ACL or LE links currently tracked by the HCI
    connection manager. However, a HCI_RAW mode device does not
    use the connection manager. In these circumstances, the connection
    counts will be zero, and thus, transmitted ACL packets dropped.
    
    The acl_num test is actually a vestige of a previous bulk URB
    scheme that is no longer used by this driver (bulk URBs were not
    started until at least one ACL connection was created). This was
    incompatible with some endpoint implementations and was dropped -
    see commit 43c2e57f.
    
    The utility of these tests is marginal - currently, the hci tx
    scheduler cannot send an ACL or LE packet for an untracked connection
    (except if the device is in HCI_RAW mode).
    
    Lastly, no other transport layer driver enforces these same tests.
