Cheap USB BT dongles that are bad clones of CSR "ID 0a12:0001
Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)" have had
historic problems, due to various bad behaviors. See [Bug 60824]
[PATCH][regression] Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle
unusable (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi) for more details
and background. The patch in that bug was initially mainlined in 5.9,
and underwent several revisions since then. It has continued to work
through all of the 5.19 series, but it does not work with any of the
6.0 kernels.
I have made three unsuccessful attempts to git bisect using vanilla
sources. All settled on totally irrelevant commits. These have all
used v6.0-rc1 and v5.19 as the starting bad and good commits.
Having read all the pages on filing a [REGRESSION} bug, I'm a bit
intimidated to file something without sufficient information to be
taken seriously, but will do so using this information, if that seems
the best course of action.
Thanks for any advice, including requests for additional information.
Below is the output from 'dmesg | egrep -iC2 "bt|blue" of a typical
failed boot. Note that unplugging and replugging the dongle (sometimes
two or more times) will sometimes be successful in having it recognized
and usable.
