Subject: Re: [PATCH] Bluetooth: btmtk: Remove resetting mt7921 before
 downloading the fw

Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker. Top-posting
for once, to make this easily accessible to everyone.

I'm a bit lost here, but maybe I'm missing something.

Luiz, can you help out here? Is there a reason why this patch is not
making any process?

Chris Lu and/or Hao Qin: Can you maybe help out as well as well and help
with resolving some open questions that might or might not be relevant
(see below).

>From Takashi reply, the bugzilla ticket he linked to, and the mail from
the MediaTek folks
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/12a344e25b31ec00fe8b57814d43fcb166e71be5.camel@mediatek.com/
) it from the outside looks like this patch should really be merged
rather sooner that later as it fixes regressions for some people.
Afaics it should get a "Fixes: ccfc8948d7e4d9 ("Bluetooth: btusb:
mediatek: reset the controller before downloading the fw")" tag, as it's
afaics that commit that causes the regression that is known since more
than three months now
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZsTh7Jyug7MbZsLE@mdpsys.co.uk/ ).

But note, it seems it does not fix the regression completely according
to Marc's testing.

Marc: Is that still how things are with current mainline?

Ciao, Thorsten
