Those two lines are unexpected.  Why does the device need to be reset?
While the btusb module is loaded, does anything show up in
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-3/quirks?

That's what I was interested in.  The device does support remote wakeup.

Furthermore the driver has changed considerably since 2019.  See
commits 8274db0776d1, 895915226a59, 7bd9fb058d77, and 34ec58b9fd1c.
