[REGRESSION] Bluetooth is not working on Macs with BCM4377 chip starting from kernel 6.5

[Aditya Garg]

Starting from kernel 6.5, a regression in the kernel is causing Bluetooth to not work on T2 Macs with BCM4377 chip.

Journalctl of kernel 6.4.8 which has Bluetooth working is given here: https://pastebin.com/u9U3kbFJ

Journalctl of kernel 6.5.2, which has Bluetooth broken is given here: https://pastebin.com/aVHNFMRs

Also, the bug hasn’t been fixed even in 6.6.1, as reported by users.

Some relevant bits imo:
