Re: [REGRESSION] Bluetooth not working on 5.15+ since "Bluetooth: Move shutdown callback before flushing tx and rx queue"

[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Top-posting for once, to make this easy accessible to everyone.

Coldolt, could you please check if this regression is still in 5.17-rc1
or 5.16.2? I wonder if this patch fixed things:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-5.16.y&id=8e8cae520210139aab4b701a822bbefb13b8f007

Ciao, Thorsten
