Hi Aditya,

> Bluetooth on Apple MacBook Pro 16,1 is unable to start due to LE Min/Max Tx Power being queried on startup. Add a DMI based quirk so that it is disabled.

list all the MacBooks that you found problematic right now. We add the
initial as a large batch instead of all individual.

Actually leave the comment out. You are not adding any value that isn’t
already in the variable name or the DMI. It is just repeating the obvious.

if (dmi_first_match(..))
set_bit(.., &hdev->quirks);

There is really no need to have a variable for this.
