[PATCHv2] Bluetooth: quirk disabling LE Read Transmit Power

From: Orlando Chamberlain
Date: Fri Oct 01 2021 - 04:37:00 EST


The LE Read Transmit Power command is Advertised on some Broadcom
controlers, but not supported. Using this command breaks Bluetooth
on the MacBookPro16,1 and iMac20,1. Added a quirk disabling LE Read
Transmit Power for these devices, based off their common chip id 150.
