It seems a little heavy-handed for corner-case use (firmware updates).
On the BT side, when the fix goes in to automatically come out of the hosed state due to these long absences, the need for this maintenance mode code should be reduced. I'm still waiting to hear back from the Motorola guys on some questions, but I may submit that part of the patch without hearing from them. Also, I like the other patch about suppressing the kernel thread when an IRQ has been successfully registered.
