If you only have a hammer, then everything looks like a nail. And this is a massive hammer trying to squash everything. This problem needs to be debugged. And this starts by providing affected SKU information and firmware information. So get the details about the SKU and its Bluetooth and WiFi boot loaders. > > > > I have a Lenovo Yoga 900 which presents this problem and has the same bootloader / firmware information as Kai-Heng already posted: > > [ 5.992426] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22 > [ 5.992438] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized > [ 5.992442] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized > [ 5.992444] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized > [ 5.992450] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized > [ 6.004941] Bluetooth: hci0: Bootloader revision 0.0 build 2 week 52 2014 > [ 6.010922] Bluetooth: hci0: Device revision is 5 > [ 6.010923] Bluetooth: hci0: Secure boot is enabled > [ 6.010924] Bluetooth: hci0: OTP lock is enabled > [ 6.010925] Bluetooth: hci0: API lock is enabled > [ 6.010926] Bluetooth: hci0: Debug lock is disabled > [ 6.010927] Bluetooth: hci0: Minimum firmware build 1 week 10 2014 > [ 6.014253] bluetooth hci0: firmware: direct-loading firmware intel/ibt-11-5.sfi > [ 6.014256] Bluetooth: hci0: Found device firmware: intel/ibt-11-5.sfi > [ 6.613961] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 > [ 6.613966] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast > [ 6.613974] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized > [ 6.983804] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to send firmware data (-38) > > And the following product id and revision, from usb-devices: > > T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=06 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 > D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=e0(wlcon) Sub=01 Prot=01 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 > P: Vendor=8087 ProdID=0a2b Rev=00.01 > C: #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr=100mA > I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=e0(wlcon) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=btusb > I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=e0(wlcon) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=btusb > > I understand the drawbacks with the approach presented here and lack of clear explanation of the problem, but I can confirm these patches work around the problem on my machine. Is there any extra info or test result I can provide to help debug this?
