Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: btusb: Add device ID for Realtek RTL8761BUE
 (StarTech AV53C1)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add the USB ID 0x14b0:0x047a for the StarTech AV53C1-USB-BLUETOOTH
adapter, a Realtek RTL8761BUE based Bluetooth 5.3 dongle.

Without this entry btusb treats the device as a generic Bluetooth
adapter and never loads the Realtek firmware, leaving the controller on
its ROM firmware. In that state it advertises and scans actively, but
never reports advertisements during passive scanning. LE connections
initiated by the kernel wait for a passive-scan report before issuing
LE Create Connection, so connecting and pairing from BlueZ time out
without any error from the controller.

The same product is also sold with the ID 0x2c0a:0x8761, which is
already supported.

lsusb -v output for the device:
