The block occurs because power_supply core now tries all properties in
a row instead of aborting if the first fails (which is what we want).
However, bluetooth-core didn't allow I/O during probe so the timeout
got quite huge considering 3s for 5 different properties instead of 3s
once (which no-one noticed, yet..)

This is now fixed with the HIDP-patch pending on linux-input and
linux-bluetooth. For usbhid and uhid we already allow I/O during probe
so this does not happen there.

So I hope we can apply this for linux-next (probably after gustavo
applied the HIDP fix)?
Cheers
David
