No matter what arguments you give the driver, the domain validation
thread will always run to perform an inquiry scan of new devices.  This
is required in order to determine the negotiation capabilities of the
device.  The dv setting only controls whether the domain validation
thread goes on to perform transport robustness testing after doing
the inquiry scan.
