BT_ADDR not updated
This question is regarding bluez 5.2:
i'm changing bt addr "on-the-fly" via a vendor-specific hcitool command but the bluetoothctl is not seeing the new address, even after a hciconfig hci0 reset
however i do see the new address via "hcitool dev", so it's getting changed in the device
is there some bug in bluez updating the device address on a reset?

The address is assumed to stay unchanged from the moment that the existence of the controller is presented to user space, i.e. there is no event through which user space would be notified of changes to its address. If your hardware requires this kind of initialization (e.g. if it doesn't have a proper address from the start) the best place for writing the address would probably be the HCI driver's initialization routine.
