Description Antonio 2020-12-14 08:50:05 UTC
after upgrade kernel to version 5.10:

kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: don't support firmware rome 0x31010000

previous kernel 5.9.13 was ok.
Comment 1 Antonio 2020-12-14 12:17:35 UTC
For test: if I replace the entire drivers/bluetooth subdir with that of kernel 5.9.14 and recompile, then it works again.

This means that it depends on some modification introduced.
Comment 2 Antonio 2020-12-14 14:39:51 UTC
Seems to be enough keep only the previous drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c file
Comment 3 Antonio 2020-12-14 20:07:42 UTC
The problem seems to be this commit:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c?h=v5.10&id=b40f58b973865ee98ead884d2bdc7880b896ddb8

"Bluetooth: btusb: Add Qualcomm Bluetooth SoC WCN6855 support"

Removing this commit solves the problem (for me).

My notebook is:
- Notebook X555LN (i7-4510U)
- Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565/AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

Thanks
Comment 4 Lorenzo N 2020-12-24 11:07:09 UTC
Same here.

With 5.9.16 it works fine

I have an atheros ar3012 (bluetooth chipset) with kernel 5.10.2

Glad it did. I'll see if this fix will be implemented. Otherwise I'll stick with 5.9 till I'll be forced to update :)
Comment 9 souravdas 2020-12-28 13:32:16 UTC
same problem with 5.10.2 and 5.10.3. I will stick to 5.9(arch-linux) until its fixed.

fix hci0: don't support firmware rome error

Avoid returning error code when bluetooth version match is not made from qca_devices_table and version high is set.

This reverts an error check that was removed to support WCN6855 which does have the high version set. The fix is to move the check after the table is scanned and no version match is made.

This fix will still produce the error message for example (for ATK3K 13d3:3402 IMC Networks Bluetooth USB Host Controller)

Bluetooth: hci0: don't support firmware rome 0x1020200

But the bluetooth hardware still works as it used to

Comment 14 Rob 2021-01-19 04:34:46 UTC
I have the same issue also. 

Fedora 33, kernel 5.10.6 & 5.10.7
Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network / Bluetooth Adapter

Rolling back to 5.9.16 resolved the issue.
Comment 15 Drew Simmonds 2021-01-19 23:57:23 UTC
Can confirm on Debian Buster as well.  Upgrading to 5.10.4 on Testing causes Bluetooth to fail to enable, reverting to 5.9.15 on Backports solves the issue.

It would be very nice if there was a way to fix this not involving recompiling the kernel.
Comment 16 jefferson 2021-01-20 15:17:29 UTC
Install the kernel https://mirror.netzspielplatz.de/manjaro/packages/pool/overlay/linux419-4.19.169-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst $ sudo pacman -U linux419-4.19.169-1-x86_64 .pkg.tar.zst and reconfigure grub.cfg $ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. This kernel works well.

All kernel below 5.10 works well. You dont need to use 419, you can use eg 5.9. Also if you are using manjaro you can just use MHWD or pacman -S to manage kernels

Can confirm that this issue exists on fedora 33 5.10.x kernel for atheros usb bluetooth.  Installing a kernel.org kernel with Bradley's fix solves the problem.
The adaptor shows up as Lite-On Technologoy Corp: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04ca:3006 Lite-On Technology Corp.

That is likely the fastest way to get this resolved.

Like Bradley Jarvis' fix, but it won't produce an error message but a warning message for a possible incompatibility. Reverted the "don't care" comments for other high ROM versions. Just my 2 cents

As I've mentioned before someone needs to report this to the upstream bluetooth developers. Please send an email to:

Rocky Liao <rjliao@codeaurora.org>

Who is the author of the troublesome "Bluetooth: btusb: Add Qualcomm Bluetooth SoC WCN6855 support" commit and add:

linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org

To the Cc of this email.

Several people have reported that since b40f58b97386 ("Bluetooth:
btusb: Add Qualcomm Bluetooth SoC WCN6855 support") they have issues
with their Bluetooth adapter stopping working. It was reported at
bugzilla[1].

Bradley Jarvis posted/attached a patch which seems to resolve the
issue, Moreno has added an alternative patch.

 [1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210681

But there is another report at

 [2] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211571

and that last one was applied to bluetooth-next tree according to
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/CA2C8796-11CA-4E6F-A603-AE764516C850@holtmann.org/

Arch has now moved their linux-lts kernel to 5.10.16, which means this problem exists in the main linux and now the -LTS kernel as well.

I wish we had a timeline on the fix coming into the main tree.
Comment 38 Hans de Goede 2021-02-18 13:53:42 UTC
Unfortunately it is taking quite a long time to get the fix for this into Linus' tree and the stable rules say that only fixes which are in Linus' tree can be cherry-picked into the stable series.

For Fedora users I've added the upstream patch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth-next.git/commit/?id=234f414efd1164786269849b4fbb533d6c9cdbbf

Fixing this as a downstream patch for the Fedora kernels. So this should be fixed in the next F32 and F33 kernel builds, which will likely be the 5.10.18 builds.
