[PATCH] Bluetooth: btusb: Fix and detect most of the Chinese Bluetooth controllers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For some reason they tend to squat on the very first CSR/
Cambridge Silicon Radio VID/PID instead of paying fees.

This is an extremely common problem; the issue goes as back as 2013
and these devices are only getting more popular, even rebranded by
reputable vendors and sold by retailers everywhere.

So, at this point in time there are hundreds of modern dongles reusing
the ID of what originally was an early Bluetooth 1.1 controller.

Linux is the only place where they don't work due to spotty checks
in our detection code. It only covered a minimum subset.

So what's the big idea? Flip the check around, we know that there
are potentially going to be more. But CSR is done for and the
real device only worked in an old and narrow subset of the
protocol that has been amply superseded.

Known fake bcdDevices: 0x0100, 0x0134, 0x1915, 0x2520, 0x7558, 0x8891
IC markings on 0x7558: FR3191AHAL 749H15143 (???)

 PS: I'm wondering how flexible the new 100-column limit really is,
     I tried to trim the comment a bit but it looked ugly. :)
