Subject: Re: [PATCH] Bluetooth: Apply QCA Rome patches for some ATH3012 models

Hi Takashi,

> In commit f44cb4b19ed4 ("Bluetooth: btusb: Fix quirk for Atheros
> 1525/QCA6174") we tried to address the non-working Atheros BT devices
> by changing the quirk from BTUSB_ATH3012 to BTUSB_QCA_ROME.  This made
> such devices working while it turned out to break other existing chips
> with the very same USB ID, hence it was reverted afterwards.
> 
> This is another attempt to tackle the issue.  The essential point to
> use BTUSB_QCA_ROME is to apply the btusb_setup_qca() and do RAM-
> patching.  And the previous attempt failed because btusb_setup_qca()
> returns -ENODEV if the ROM version doesn't match with the expected
> ones.  For some devices that have already the "correct" ROM versions,
> we may just skip the setup procedure and continue the rest.
