Hi stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Could you please apply:
1. Commit a7208610761ae ("Bluetooth: btmtk: Remove resetting mt7921
before downloading the fw") to v6.12.x (it's already in
v6.14).
2. Commit 33634e2ab7c6 ("Bluetooth: btmtk: Remove the resetting step
before downloading the fw") to v6.12.x and v6.14.x.
These fixes address an issue with some audio interfaces failing to
initialise during boot on kernels 6.11+. As noted in my original
analysis below, the MediaTek Bluetooth controller reset increases the
device setup time from ~200ms to ~20s and can interfere with other USB
devices on the bus.
Thanks,
Geoffrey.
