[PATCH] Bluetooth: btusb: Add support for TP-Link UB500 Adapter

[PATCH] Bluetooth: btusb: Add support for TP-Link UB500 Adapter

[Marek Vasut]

Hello everyone,

The following new device USB ID has landed in linux-next recently:

4fd6d4907961 ("Bluetooth: btusb: Add support for TP-Link UB500 Adapter")

It would be nice if it could be backported to stable. I verified it 
works on 5.14.y as a simple cherry-pick .

Thank you

A patch needs to be in Linus's tree before we can add it to the stable
releases.  Please let us know when it gets there and we will be glad to
pick it up.

Hello Greg,

The patch has reached Linus's tree:
4fd6d4907961 ("Bluetooth: btusb: Add support for TP-Link UB500 Adapter")

Could you please add it to stable (5.15.y)?

Thanks,
Szabolcs

I will queue it up for the next set of kernels after the current ones are
released.

btw while you're bringing it up, is there some sure-fire method I can 
use to verify the patch is in Linus tree, besides having a separate 
checkout of that tree ?

I usually have both Linus tree as origin and next in one git tree, so I 
was wondering if there is a recommended way to avoid mistakes like the 
one I made above (and checking at git.kernel.org apparently also has its 
downsides).

Without the tree/branch checked out?  Not that I know of, sorry.

Having both in one git tree is fine.  Just switch between branches (one
that tracks Linus's and one that tracks linux-next) and you can see what
is happening in each of them.

There's other "tricks" to see if patches have been added to branches by
adding them to a branch and then rebasing and seeing the end result, but
those get tricky to try to explain in simple emails...

I have a local checkout of Linus tree, except I also have other remotes 
in it, that's what I meant.

I can do some "git log linus/master | grep the-commit" , but that does 
not seem to be the most efficient approach, or is it ?

Some sort of git-cherry-pick and git-rebase ?

All right

git log linux/master path/to/file/you/care/about.c

will give you just the log of the specific file as you know what one you
are looking for here, right?

Yes, create a branch:
	git checkout -b my_new_branch linux/master
add the patch
	git cherry-pick SHA_to_pick

And then later on after you have updated linux/master:
	git rebase linux/master
and see if anything is still left here or not:
	git log linux/master..HEAD

if the commit is merged, then the log will be empty.

have fun!
