I applied solution in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100461

But now it do not detect my devices.

--- ISSUE SOVED WITH 100461 ---

1. Hardware Description
Device: Intel StickPC (Atom x5-Z8300 "Cherry Trail" / "Bay Trail" platform)
Bluetooth/WiFi Chip: Broadcom BCM43341B0 (Combo Chip)
ACPI ID: BCM2E95
Interface: Intel HS-UART connected via serdev (serial0-0)
Connection: UART (not USB)


2. System Information
OS: Debian 13 (Trixie)
Kernel: 6.12.63+deb13-amd64 (Upstream 6.12 series)
BlueZ Version: 5.82
Firmware: BCM43341B0.hcd (Size: 41,333 bytes).
Verified identical to working Windows 10 driver firmware.


3. Issue Description
The Bluetooth controller is detected, and the hci_uart_bcm driver successfully
loads the specific firmware patch (build 0176). However, immediately after
firmware loading, the device remains in a DOWN RAW state with MTU 0:0.
Attempting to bring the device up fails with "Operation not supported". The
device never registers with the BlueZ management layer (btmgmt info is empty).
It appears the HCI_QUIRK_RAW_DEVICE flag (set by hci_serdev.c during setup) is
never cleared, or the bcm_setup function completes but the driver fails to
transition the device to a fully operational state.


4. Steps to Reproduce
Boot minimal Debian 13 with Kernel 6.12 on Intel Atom Z8300 device with
BCM43341.
Ensure correct firmware BCM43341B0.hcd is in /lib/firmware/brcm/.
Check hciconfig -a.

6. What Was Tried (Workarounds)
Windows Firmware: Replaced Linux firmware with verified working Windows 10
driver (BCM43341B0_002.001.014.0122.0176.hcd). Result: Identical behavior.
Firmware load OK, Init fail.
Kernel Parameters: Added intel_idle.max_cstate=1 to prevent BayTrail deep sleep
issues. Result: No change.
btattach: Attempted manual btattach but failed because serdev framework claims
the UART (serial0-0) and does not expose a /dev/ttyS* node to userspace even
after unbinding the driver.


7. Suspected Root Cause
Regression in drivers/bluetooth/hci_bcm.c or hci_serdev.c on Kernel 6.12
regarding the handling of HCI_QUIRK_RAW_DEVICE for ACPI-enumerated BCM devices.
The setup phase (firmware load) works, but the transition to operational mode
is missing.

--- Comment #1 from Erkul (bugzilla@emircanerkul.com) ---
unfortunatelly nothing worked tried a lot of config files. DARK-XSW150.clm_blob
needed. But its really old device and they cant support. Not sure how to
restore bluetooth part..
