+Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_renesas: Complete the setup regardless of
+ firmware load
+
+The firmware loading step doesn't currently work, and the current
+implementation of the driver leaves the serial port with the wrong
+configuration, preventing the system from using the bluetooth device
+further.
+Disregard the outcome of the firmware loading step for now, so that we
+can use the bluetooth device.
