Hi Linus,

Thanks for responding.

As far as I can tell, not many Bluetooth drivers use the current-speed 
attribute yet but perhaps it would be a good idea to start using it more 
broadly in the future to set the initial serial link speed.

I suppose a general flag could be useful but to be honest I don't know 
if any other devices besides the ones using the Broadcom driver has any 
use for it. You would probably also still want to be able to use 
current-speed to set the link speed and end up using both 
current-speed=x and current-speed-auto at the same time, which might 
look a little confusing?

Please let me know if you'd still prefer "current-speed-auto" over 
"brcm,uses-autobaud-mode" and I'll revise the patch and rename it!
