Dear Maintainer,

Attempting to pair with my bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo, the passkey
for completing the paring, that I'm supposed to enter on the keyboard
does not get shown. After a short period, the pairing is aborted as
unsuccesful. If I run hcidump at the same time, the passcode is
displayed, and entering leads to a succesful pairing.

It's of course possible that this is a bluez problem, but from my point
of view I have no way of telling.

Here's a hcidump of a succesful pairing (where the interface did not
show me the passkey, but I read it off hcidump). A bunch of additional
pairing chatter happens after that, of course:
