On kernel 6.1-rcX, I have been getting the following dmesg error message
on every boot, resume from suspend and rfkill unblock of the Bluetooth
device:
Bluetooth: hci0: HCI_REQ-0xfcf0
After some investigation, it turned out to be caused by
commit dd50a864ffae ("Bluetooth: Delete unreferenced hci_request code")
which modified hci_req_add() in net/bluetooth/hci_request.c to always
print an error message when it is executed. In my case, the function was
executed by msft_set_filter_enable() in net/bluetooth/msft.c, which
provides support for Microsoft vendor opcodes.
As explained by Brian Gix, "the error gets logged because it is using a
deprecated (but still working) mechanism to issue HCI opcodes" [1]. So
this is just a debugging tool to show that a deprecated function is
executed. As such, it should not be included in the mainline kernel.
See for example
commit 771c035372a0 ("deprecate the '__deprecated' attribute warnings entirely and for good")
Additionally, this error message is cryptic and the user is not able to
do anything about it.
