Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: btrtl: fix RTL8761B/BU broken LE extended scan
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 17:13:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429151343.28142-1-alexej@sidorenko.cz> (raw)
RTL8761B and RTL8761BU devices report HCI version 5.1 but do not
support the LE Extended Scan commands. This causes repeated failures
with Opcode 0x2042 (LE Set Extended Scan Parameters) returning -EBUSY
when BlueZ attempts extended scanning while a connection is active.
Set HCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_EXT_SCAN for CHIP_ID_8761B to make BlueZ fall
back to legacy LE scan commands which the firmware supports correctly.
Tested with RTL8761BU (USB ID 0bda:a728) where the issue manifested
as continuous 'Opcode 0x2042 failed: -16' errors in dmesg whenever
a BLE connection was active.
