realtek-bt-firmware's Issues

Changes with 5.10?

bluetooth didn't work for me (couldn't enable in ui). when looking at dmesg I noticed:

[    8.826625] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: examining hci_ver=07 hci_rev=000b lmp_ver=07 lmp_subver=8703
[    8.830835] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: chip_type status=0 type=5
[    8.834965] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: rom_version status=0 version=1

[    8.850225] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config-pinephone.bin
[    8.850316] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config-pinephone.bin failed with error -2
[    8.850323] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: mandatory config file rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config not found

some sources claim that renaming/symlinking the rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config-pinebook.bin to rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config-pinephone.bin should do the trick. I can confirm that doing this removes the warning and I can pair the bluetooth with my notebook. The connection drops quickly however so I'm not sure if that is really the intended solution

I could not find a -pinephone.bin in other distributions but they typically use older kernels
