Hey stable team, I wonder if it might be wise to pick up 1c3366abdbe884
("Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix not checking error on
hci_cmd_sync_cancel_sync") from next
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=1c3366abdbe884)
for the next releases of all series that a few days ago received
63298d6e752fc0 ("Bluetooth: hci_core: Cancel request on command timeout").

The latter patch sadly on quite a few systems causes a Oops due to a
NULL pointer dereference and breaks Bluetooth. This was reported for
mainline here (yes, coincidentally it was reported by yours truly):
https://lore.kernel.org/all/08275279-7462-4f4a-a0ee-8aa015f829bc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Now that the patch landed in 6.8.2 it seems to happen there as well
(guess in 6.7 and others, too), as can be seen from this bug report
where multiple people already joined:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218651

The fix mentioned above is on the way to Linus, but due to unlucky
timing missed this weeks network pull, hence will likely only reach
mainline next Thursday. But the fix afaics has a stable commit id, so
might be worth picking up soon for the stable releases to fix the
regression quickly.

Ciao, Thorsten
