these chips are Broadcom based. So you must ask them how they
implemented the link quality value.

How is the implementation vendor specific?Does it mean that some vendors don't support Link Quality?Or does it mean that there are other ways of getting the LQ value?

Check "hciconfig hci0 features" if they support "Inquiry with RSSI".
[root@175-214 ~]# hciconfig hci0 features

                <interlaced pscan> <AFH cap. slave> <AFH cap. master>

Well looks like it does support RSSI...but RSSI values change abruptly..for the same distance the RSSI might be -9 and the after ten seconds its -2 so I can't use RSSI.

Do you suggest I try the LQ value with some other bluetooth adaptors?Any idea as to which model would support the link quality feature?

The build id is only valid for CSR chips. It is not fully clear how
Broadcom encodes this.
