   1. BTPROTO_HCI addresses only expect string identifiers on NetBSD and DragonFly:

      cpython/Modules/socketmodule.c

      Line 1931 in 2e0a920

      #if defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__DragonFly__)

   But of course this is true on FreeBSD too. (DragonFly inherited the BT stack from FreeBSD!)
   For example this is how hccontrol creates an address:
   https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/6bb9221a9b865ee432269099f341e4230a6cbcd4/usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol/hccontrol.c#L115-L129

   So currently it is not possible to bind an HCI socket (without using FFI to directly use the libc bind function) :(

   2. BTPROTO_SCO is excluded on FreeBSD:

      cpython/Modules/socketmodule.c

      Line 1953 in 2e0a920

      #if !defined(__FreeBSD__)

   But SCO has been supported since 2008: freebsd/freebsd-src@bb4c6de

    Actually, we did not test this on live FreeBSD machine, and were unable to test it on a VM, so the support is rather theoretical. I will be grateful if someone can test it on machine where the Bluetooth socket tests are not skipped.
