This sounds like http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg10695.html

The fix is on its way. Nothing is deliberately broken.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/padovan/bluetooth-next-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=b99faf1b798d6d0e33526fd2cef55a405c08ff09;hp=58b6e124aac64bebb2e9e1a136cbd21a5ab0485a

That fix isn't in the -stable tree, and doesn't apply cleanly to the
.38-stable tree.

Can someone provide a backport to stable@xxxxxxxxxx?

thanks,

greg k-h



o.k my diff skills sucks, but(hopefully) backported correctly, sent out to stable@xxxxxxxxxxxx

let me know if you get this or not(seems gmail is not showing my sent mail)..
