The LE Read Transmit Power command is Advertised on some Broadcom
controlers, but not supported. Using this command breaks Bluetooth
on the MacBookPro16,1 and iMac20,1. Added a quirk disabling LE Read
Transmit Power for these devices, based off their common chip id 150.

Nowadays it is possible to treat errors such like this on a per

This diff cannot be applied to stable 5.15. Could you provide a patch capable of being applied to stable.

That is not needed until a patch is in Linus's tree.  Why do you need it
earlier?

Well not an emergency, but the issue of Bluetooth not working on some Apple Macs has been there for a long time. BTW, will this patch be there in Linus’s tree in the coming days?

thanks,
