You need mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb to get it -- but your sys
one is much better actually as you point out it doesn't depend on platform.

You can fire up BT like this

root@(none):~# echo 1 >
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/neo1973-pm-bt/neo1973-pm-bt.0/power_on
root@(none):~# echo 1 >
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/neo1973-pm-bt/neo1973-pm-bt.0/reset
root@(none):~# echo 0 >
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/neo1973-pm-bt/neo1973-pm-bt.0/reset

Then you will find it in /sys/bus/usb/devices too, as "1-1" here.

If you walk the interfaces in subdirs 1-1:* looking at the interface class

# cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/1-1\:1.0/bInterfaceClass
e0

you can find out what kind of device they are...

(Bluetooth = device class 0xe0)

Dunno if it is the "best" way, I had a look in libusb to see if it had a
better API or something but I didn't find any.  At least it should work
on any Linux platform.
