 by the loss of HCI_Connection_Complete event

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

After receiving your guidance, we implement the code changes you
provided to us and find that the bug has indeed been resolved.

Thank you for your time, support, and for sharing your knowledge.
We look forward to continuing our involvement in the Linux community
and hope to contribute positively, just as you have done.

Best regards,
