So as far as Qt seems to be concerned, "scan for devices" is all
exactly the same. Only after the scan does the whole LE vs RFCOMM come
into play.

So I'd rather share the scanning code, because I think that all can be common.

I have no idea whether that is how it can actually work.

I *think* it shows up as one device as far as the Qt layer is
concerned, and then you can look at the device->coreConfigurations()
to see what different configurations it supports.
