Re: [PATCHv2] Bluetooth: quirk disabling LE Read Transmit Power

[Aditya Garg <gargaditya08@live.com>]

So I have finally managed to add quirks in btbcm on the basis on DMI data. This shall be advantageous in the situation when the user shall be using a USB adapter so that the quirk gets ineffective for the adapter.

I am sending this to get the approval of the maintainers whether this quirk is acceptable or not. If yes, I shall send the final patch.
