Commit ed2a2ef16a6b ("Bluetooth: Add quirk to ignore reserved PHY bits in
LE Extended Adv Report") added a quirk to handle creative use of the
reserved bits in the PHY fields for 4388 controllers in Apple silicon.
I observed the same issue with the BCM4378 Bluetooth controller (14e4:5f69,
rev 05) on an Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, M2, 2022):
> HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 51
LE Extended Advertising Report (0x0d)
Num reports: 1
Entry 0
Event type: 0x2513
Props: 0x0013
Connectable
Scannable
Use legacy advertising PDUs
Data status: Complete
Reserved (0x2500)
Legacy PDU Type: Reserved (0x2513)
Address type: Random (0x01)
Address: EA:C1:82:F0:24:C6 (Static)
Primary PHY: Reserved
Secondary PHY: No packets
SID: no ADI field (0xff)
TX power: 127 dBm
RSSI: -57 dBm (0xc7)
Periodic advertising interval: 0.00 msec (0x0000)
Direct address type: Public (0x00)
Direct address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 (OUI 00-00-00)
Data length: 25
This results in the firmware rejecting connection attempts with
"Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value" (0x11).
Fix the issue by using the same quirk for BCM4378 devices too.
I tested this locally and confirmed that the issue is resolved.
This was observed when attempting to connect a Kinesis Advantage 360
keyboard to the MacBook.
