The offending commit was just sent on to the networking tree for 6.9 so
I went ahead and added the Trogdor default address to the address check
for now:

	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240425075503.24357-1-johan+linaro@kernel.org/

We can always amend this later if it turns out to be needed.

Hopefully Janaki and Qualcomm will provide some answers soon.

And otherwise we have another fall back in that we can use the
"qcom,local-bd-address-broken" property for Trogdor.

Thanks, the Bluetooth driver output was what I was looking for but the
wifi output may also provide some insight.

Yeah, possibly, but it seems we won't be able to use the version info
without further details from Qualcomm.

All of these controllers apparently have storage for the hardware ids so
I'd be surprised if they didn't have room also for the address.

Looking at the backstory for this, it seems like Qualcomm intentionally
broke the bdaddr quirk so that controllers which had been provisioned
with a valid address would continue to work back when WCN3990 was the
only device that set the quirk. So presumably WCN3990 and later
controllers all have OTP storage for the address (even if I guess in
theory it could have been done just for, say, WCN3998 which was added
just after):
