Thanks for the report. Guess I could use a break from the proverbial
eggnog.

The commit you tracked this down to restored the original semantics for
HCI_QUIRK_USE_BDADDR_PROPERTY, which means that it should only be set
for devices with an invalid address.

The Broadcom BCM4377 driver has so far been setting this flag
unconditionally which now potentially results in also valid addresses
being marked as invalid.

I've just sent a patch that makes sure to only mark invalid addresses as
invalid:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231227101003.10534-1-johan+linaro@xxxxxxxxxx/

Note however that the flag still needs to be set in case your device
lacks storage for a unique device address so you cannot simply drop it
for some device classes as you do below (unless you are certain that
these devices will always have a valid address).

Devices without a valid address starts in an unconfigured state and
cannot be used until userspace has provided an address (e.g. using
btmgmt):

btmgmt --index 0 public-addr 00:11:22:33:44:55

Back to the eggnog.
