Actually, I hadn't sent these to stable yet, but that's a good idea. 
CCing relevant parties.

It's not actually a regression (or at least not a recent one) since the 
stale input device problem has existed as far back as I can remember, 
but these commits do 'fix a real bug that bothers people', as the 
guideline states, so I guess it's appropriate for stable.

    Bluetooth: Disconnect HIDRAW devices on disconnect

    Currently the HID subsystem will create HIDRAW devices for the transport
    driver, but it will not disconnect them. Until the HID subsytem gets
    fixed, ensure that HIDRAW and HIDDEV devices are disconnected when the
    Bluetooth HID device gets removed.

    Bluetooth: Add extra device reference counting for connections

    The device model itself has no real usable reference counting at the
    moment and this causes problems if parents are deleted before their
    children. The device model itself handles the memory details of this
    correctly, but the uevent order is not consistent. This causes various
    problems for systems like HAL or even X.

    So until device_put() does a proper cleanup, the device for Bluetooth
    connection will be protected with an extra reference counting to ensure
    the correct order of uevents when connections are terminated.

    This is not an automatic feature. Higher Bluetooth layers like HIDP or
    BNEP should grab this new reference to ensure that their uevents are
    send before the ones from the parent device.

    Bluetooth: Let HIDP grab the device reference for connections

    The core exports the hci_conn_hold_device() and hci_conn_put_device()
    functions for device reference of connections. Use this to ensure that
    the uevents from the parent are send after the child ones.
