Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: qca: check the device address on every setup
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 21:46:15 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016124615.61-1-26rote@gmail.com> (raw)

qca_check_bdaddr() sets HCI_QUIRK_USE_BDADDR_PROPERTY when the
controller reports the default address from its NVM file, so that the
core programs the configured address again on every setup. The check
is skipped once hdev->public_addr is set.

If the first setup runs on the ROM firmware because the rampatch and NVM
files could not be loaded (driver built in, firmware not in the
initramfs), the check is not reached. Once user space sets the address
with MGMT_OP_SET_PUBLIC_ADDRESS, every later setup skips it, so the
controller falls back to the default address on the next power on and
bonded devices no longer connect. Seen with a WCN7850 on a Lenovo Legion
Tab Y700 Gen 5.

Check the address on every setup. Setting the quirk while
hdev->public_addr is set does not make the controller unconfigured, as
is_configured() only looks at it while no address is set.

Tested with the WCN7850 over UART: the configured address survives
three power cycles, a bluetoothd restart and an rfkill block/unblock;
without this patch the first power cycle reverts it. The NVMEM BD
address series [1] changes the same branch; the two apply in either
order.
