This hardware is funny. Before the firmware patching it says this:

< HCI Command: Read Local Version In.. (0x04|0x0001) plen 0
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 12
      Read Local Version Information (0x04|0x0001) ncmd 2
        Status: Success (0x00)
        HCI version: Bluetooth 5.1 (0x0a) - Revision 11 (0x000b)
        LMP version: Bluetooth 5.1 (0x0a) - Subversion 34657 (0x8761)
        Manufacturer: Realtek Semiconductor Corporation (93)

And after the firmware patching it downgrades to Bluetooth 5.0 standard:

< HCI Command: Read Local Version... (0x04|0x0001) plen 0
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 12
      Read Local Version Information (0x04|0x0001) ncmd 2
        Status: Success (0x00)
        HCI version: Bluetooth 5.0 (0x09) - Revision 55448 (0xd898)
        LMP version: Bluetooth 5.0 (0x09) - Subversion 50044 (0xc37c)
        Manufacturer: Realtek Semiconductor Corporation (93)

Anyway, I was after these LE Features:

< HCI Command: LE Read Local Suppo.. (0x08|0x0003) plen 0
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 12
      LE Read Local Supported Features (0x08|0x0003) ncmd 2
        Status: Success (0x00)
        Features: 0xfd 0x5f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
          LE Encryption
          Extended Reject Indication
          Slave-initiated Features Exchange
          LE Ping
          LE Data Packet Length Extension
          LL Privacy
          Extended Scanner Filter Policies
          LE 2M PHY
          Stable Modulation Index - Transmitter
          Stable Modulation Index - Receiver
          LE Coded PHY
          LE Extended Advertising
          Channel Selection Algorithm #2

This seems to be a genuine USB dongle with Bluetooth 5.0 features.
