I am not taking any of these patches for the Bluetooth subsystem or its 
drivers. They are pretty much pointless to me and do not improve readability. I 
think they actually decrease readability. Every Unix/Linux developers knowns 
what 0644 (and all its magic cousins) mean.

The only way I would accept any patches to change this is if they would 
introduce module_param_rw / module_param_ro or something alike. Since I am 
pretty sure the majority is 644 and 444 here anyway.

Regards

Marcel
