In case of Broadcom, they are LL or LMP trace packets, but it could be also debug messages or something else. Other vendors use HCI vendor events for that which is also fine. Just wanted to know what it is.

Yes, it seems no any problem. really thanks point out me with patience

So I've moved these clk_* and pm_* operations into ->open and ->close in newer v7.
