Using nRF5340-PDK with HCI USB sample: hci device not found on Ubuntu

Hi,

I am aware, that I the PDK is deprecated and I plan to use a nRF5340-DK in the near future.

However, I would like to make use of the PDK I have sitting around and thus tried to convert it to a BT 5-enabled USB Dongle using the HCI USB sample.

I built the sample `hci_usb` from Zephyr (version 2.5.0) using  `west build -b nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpuappns --pristine`  which automatically included the `hci_rpmsg` as child image due to CONFIG_BT_RPMSG_NRF53 being set to 'y'. I flashed the combined image using `west flash --erase` and UART console output showed:

[17:14:08:809] *** Booting Zephyr OS version 2.4.99 ***␍␊

[17:14:08:812] Bluetooth over USB sample␍␊

Eager to try it out, I ran `hciconfig` on my Ubuntu 19.10 machine with BlueZ 5.50 and did not see an additional Bluetooth adapter. `lsusb` still shows the nRF53 as JLink device.

I'd like to narrow down the problem:

Any response is appreciated!

Martin
