I don't. You first have to prove to me that this change is needed at
all. Show me the hcidump -X -V connections attempts for these carkits.
Also your analysis is wrong. BlueZ doesn't care if the remote headset
supports eSCO or not. We just care about if our local controller has the
synchronous setup commands. It is the job of the link manager inside the
controller firmware to either establish SCO or eSCO. And we do retry
with SCO if eSCO fails. This sounds more like the case that you have an
outdated kernel.
