[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 12/21] driver: bluetooth: hci_qca:fix unable to load the BT driver

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Shuai Zhang <quic_shuaz@quicinc.com>

[ Upstream commit db0ff7e15923ffa7067874604ca275e92343f1b1 ]

Some modules have BT_EN enabled via a hardware pull-up,
meaning it is not defined in the DTS and is not controlled
through the power sequence. In such cases, fall through
to follow the legacy flow.

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

**1. Nature of the Fix:**
This is a critical bug fix that addresses driver probe failure on
specific hardware configurations. The commit fixes an issue where the
Bluetooth driver would fail to load on modules that have BT_EN enabled
via hardware pull-up rather than through device tree configuration.

**2. Code Analysis:**
The key change is in the error handling path:
```c
- if (IS_ERR(qcadev->bt_power->pwrseq))
- return PTR_ERR(qcadev->bt_power->pwrseq);
- break;
+ if (IS_ERR(qcadev->bt_power->pwrseq))
+     qcadev->bt_power->pwrseq = NULL;
+ else
+     break;
```

Previously, when `devm_pwrseq_get()` failed, the driver would
immediately return an error, causing the entire probe to fail. The fix
changes this behavior to set `pwrseq` to NULL and fall through to the
legacy initialization flow, allowing the driver to continue loading.

**3. Impact on Users:**
- **Before the fix**: Complete failure to load Bluetooth driver on
  affected hardware
- **After the fix**: Driver loads successfully using the legacy power
  control flow
- This directly affects system functionality - without this fix,
  Bluetooth is completely non-functional on affected devices

**4. Risk Assessment:**
- **Minimal risk**: The change is contained to error handling logic
- **No new features**: This purely fixes existing functionality
- **Well-defined scope**: Only affects specific SoC types (QCA_WCN6855,
  QCA_WCN7850, QCA_WCN6750)
- **Graceful fallback**: Uses existing legacy flow rather than
  introducing new code paths

**5. Stable Kernel Criteria:**
This commit meets all the criteria for stable backporting:
- ✓ Fixes a real bug that users are hitting
- ✓ Small and self-contained change (7 lines added, 3 removed)
- ✓ Already tested in mainline
- ✓ Doesn't add new functionality
- ✓ Low risk of regression

**6. Hardware Configuration Addressed:**
The commit specifically handles modules where:
- BT_EN is enabled via hardware pull-up
- No "enable-gpios" property in device tree
- Power sequencer is not available/applicable

This is a valid hardware configuration that was overlooked in the
original implementation, making this fix essential for proper hardware
support.

The commit follows the pattern of similar Bluetooth driver fixes that
have been backported (like the first reference commit) - small, targeted
fixes that restore functionality without architectural changes.
