[PATCH v3] Bluetooth: btusb: Add quirk to skip HCI_FLT_CLEAR_ALL on fake CSR controllers

From: Ismael Ferreras Morezuelas
Date: Sat Mar 05 2022 - 02:03:37 EST


Another subset of the more recent batch of Chinese clones aren't
specs-compliant and seem to lock up whenever they receive a
HCI_OP_SET_EVENT_FLT with flt_type set to zero/HCI_FLT_CLEAR_ALL,
which on Linux (until the recent HCI state-machine refactor) happened
right at BR/EDR setup. As there are other less-straightforward ways
of reaching those operations, this patch is still relevant.

So, while all the previous efforts to wrangle the herd of fake CSRs
seem to be paying off (and these also get detected as such) we
still need to take care of this quirk; testers seem to agree
that these dongles tend to work well enough afterwards.

>From some cursory USB packet capture on Windows it seems like
that driver doesn't appear to use this clear-all functionality at all.

This patch was tested on some really popular AliExpress-style
dongles, in my case marked as "V5.0". Chip markings: UG8413,
the backside of the PCB says "USB Dangel" (sic).

Here is the `hciconfig -a` output; for completeness:

Also, changed the benign dmesg print that shows up whenever the
generic force-suspend fails from bt_dev_err to bt_dev_warn;
it's okay and done on a best-effort basis, not a problem
if that does not work.

Also, swapped the HCI subver and LMP subver numbers for the Barrot
in the comment, which I copied wrong the last time around.

Changes for v3:
* Simplified and updated the hci_sync.c code after the state-machine
changes; the hci_core.c and hci_request.c parts no longer exist.

As requested by Marcel.

Funnily enough, the HCI code does not unconditionally send a
clear-all anymore on bring-up, so I have received reports of
the bug being "fixed" without patching. But there might be
more ways of hitting these codepaths in the future as the
kernel develops.

So yeah, the controller limitation is still there, but
doesn't get exercised because we don't do it like that.

* Shortened the patch subject, as suggested by Paul Menzel.

Changes for v2:
* Added HCI_QUIRK_NO_SUSPEND_NOTIFIER to btusb_setup_csr().
In theory we already disable runtime suspend in btusb, button
better safe than sorry. Doesn't hurt to explicitly avoid the
hci_suspend_dev() codepath, it also works as example.
* Improved the quirk description in hci.h, as suggested by Hans
de Goede. Explain the need to disable runtime suspend.
* Also check for the quirk in hci_req_set_event_filter();
mirror its hci_req_clear_event_filter() counterpart.
* The struct hci_dev *hdev variables always go first.
* Removed some misc formatting changes.
