Hi,
Recently I got an RTL8812AEBT card which is a WiFi5 + BT4.0 device.
Bluetooth is working fine but I see the warning below in dmesg. It seems
the config file rtl_bt/rtl8761a_config.bin is missing, not sure if this
should be fixed or not.

Hi!
The config file rtl8761a_config is not mandatory. In ic_id_table[],
.config_needed is indeed set to false. Please rest assured regarding
this matter.
If you would like to fix the warning message, it would be good to
send a patch to add rtl8761a_config.bin containing only the header
to the linux-firmware repository.
BRs,
Max

Bluetooth is working as usual and the error message doesn't appear anymore.
