So you would need to unregister the hci_dev first before hdev->setup will ever be called again. So I am not sure this is actually the problem here. The problem here is entirely within request_firmware() unless of course we run through the USB probe handlers again. Which I do not see happening here.

Yes, but even in reset_resume() you would need to redo the setup
part, as the device lost power. The basic problem of requesting
the firmware wouldn't be solved.
