actually if this is really platform related as Qualcomm is indicating, then we should just go with 3) and the two platforms that previously added quirks to usb/core/quirks.c and blacklist these. I am all for figuring out what is going on here. So lets blacklist these and see how this goes. Maybe there are only two bad platforms out there and we are making too much fuzz about this. Before we added quirks in the USB core these platforms were just plain broken as well. So not much different situation than before. We need to push the DMI blacklisting back into -stable as well and that means any impact of a 3rd broken platform briefly working and then be broken again is slim and also fixable via -stable.

I addition we can add a module option to btusb.ko that allows us to force this flag to be set. That way testing this is easy on a vendor kernel. A bunch of the btusb quirks (and also core quirks) can be tested via module options or debugfs.

Marcel
