many thanks for bringing this registration process here into attention. 
Can you elaborate about the pros for the OpenWrt eco-system?

If found some reference docs:

<https://support.bluetooth.com/hc/en-us/articles/19287261092109-Company-ID-Questions>

Should we use it for the OpenWrt hardware or is this an solution for the 
software stack itself (running on all owrt supported HW)?

And: No objections here from my end. Just a request for information.

Best,
