Well its reverting too much but its also looking pretty bogus to me

- /* Stop timer, it might be running */
- del_timer_sync(&hdev->cmd_timer);
-
if (!test_and_clear_bit(HCI_UP, &hdev->flags)) {
hci_req_unlock(hdev);
return 0;

So you've now got a path where you leave the timer running and didn't
before - not it appears one that is a good idea.

Certainly not the kind of change that should be considered for a
regression fix for an rc kernel. It's far too big a behavioural change to
be safe.
