Bug 512462

SUMMARY
Bluetooth applet (Bluedevil) displays duplicate entries for previously paired devices after suspend/resume cycles. Duplicate entries accumulate across multiple suspend/resume events.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair one or more Bluetooth devices (headphones are easiest to reproduce with).
2. Suspend the system.
3. Resume the system.
4. Open the Bluetooth applet from the Plasma system tray.
5. Observe: device list now contains duplicated entries (often with “hci0” appended).
6. Repeating suspend/resume leads to additional duplicates.

OBSERVED RESULT
- After resume, Bluetooth devices appear multiple times in the Plasma applet.
- Duplicated items increase with each suspend/resume cycle.
- Restarting plasmashell removes the duplicates temporarily.

EXPECTED RESULT
- Each paired device should appear once in the Bluetooth applet.
- Suspend/resume should not create additional UI entries.
