Re: [PATCH] Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: fix stale cache in set_dxstate fallback check

[Sergey Lebedev <lsa.uz@pm.me>]

Paul,

Thank you for the pointer — it was the useful part of your mail.

Ravindra's patch changes the same function, and the two turn out to fix
different halves of one failure: his makes a *late* alive interrupt count
by moving the flag out of the retry loop, while Vladimir's makes a
*missing* one survivable, because the fallback check still reads the
stale boot_stage_cache. The hunks also sit on adjacent lines, so whichever
lands second will need a rebase.

I have followed that up in Ravindra's thread rather than here, since it
concerns his patch:

  Message-ID <20260902091021.20160-1-lsa.uz@pm.me>

There I report what our test fixture does under each patch, and offer to
assemble the two as a series if both authors would rather have it that way.

Your other two points — the Link: tag with a fuller commit message, and a
comment above the macro definition — are Vladimir's to act on, and I have
no opinion to add beyond agreeing they would help.

Thanks,
Sergey
