Hello,
There was a proprietary driver for Ralink RT3298 bluetooth module that
compiled in kernel 3.2 but stopped compiling in kernel 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5
which is available here
http://downloads.zotac.com/mediadrivers/mb/download/NB087_Ubuntu.zip. I
get the following output when compiling in kernel 3.5 :

Hi Mohit,

if neither Ralink nor Ubuntu feels the need to get this upstream, why would we care if this compiles or not. This is not how Linux works. The community is not responsible for out-of-tree drivers.

This change was made over a year ago. So seems nobody really cares enough.

Bluetooth: Remove hci_dev->driver_data
The linux device model provides dev_set/get_drvdata so we can use this
to save private driver data.
This also removes several unnecessary casts.
