I've tried this patch, and status seems to be -56, not 0x01, but if I
change
+	if (status == HCI_ERROR_UNKNOWN_CMD)
to
+	if (status == -56)
It ignores the error and continues.

I seem to have an unrelated problem where although I can connect to my
Logitech MX Anywhere 2S mouse (I haven't tried any other devices yet),
it doesn't move the cursor or register clicks. I've also noticed that
bluetoothctl pair isn't asking for a "yes" when I pair a device, which
it was doing on 5.15 (with the patch I sent to get bluetooth working at
all). I've put dmesg and btsnoop for both 5.15 and bluetooth-next into
a gist here:
https://gist.github.com/Redecorating/5620b758d8191418cf19879d09672cf4
but I think this is a separate issue.

Do you know if it'd be better to contact Broadcom or Apple for this?
