Hi Marcel,

I don't think that I have any devices that support secure connections
to test, I've got only a bluetooth mouse and headphones, both are from
the 2.0 era.

FWIW unofficial recommendation from Realtek to Pine64 was to avoid
using any 4.1+ features on this chip. Unfortunately I don't have any
contacts with Realtek, so I can't confirm that.

I'd prefer to stick to what works unless there's some comprehensive
test that can figure out what's broken.

Vasily
