yes I seem to confirm it.

using kernel 3.10.xxx on Pi, the PS3 does not seem to work on any usb dongle

3.12 Fedora and 3.13 Pi with a CSR 4.0 it works (let's ignore the crashes on Pi which seems to be
related to Pi USB stack). No LEDs.

3.12 Fedora and 3.13 Pi with a CSR 2.0, it pairs, connects but /dev/input/js0 is only readable for a
few seconds then it stops reading events

3.13 Pi with a CSR 4.0 I sometimes get device timeout when I try "hciconfig hcio up"

What is strange here is that sixad was working with more dongles and more kernels.

So, to be concrete, my current issues are

1) no LEDs (you said it is going to be fixed in Linux 3.15)
2) CSR with dongle 2.0 produces a non usable /dev/input/js0
3) CSR 4.0 I cant always bring hci0 up

The 2 dongles I am using now are both reporting the same usb device id

0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

although they are very different 2.0 vs 4.0

Anything I can do to narrow down these last issues?
