bluetooth driver on system76 pang15

I'm not able to enable bt on a pang15 laptop running mediatek MT7921e device.  I wrote system76 and it is a known issue with the linux kernel drivers and they pointed me to their fix with popos kernel.  They provided me the below link to the fix in the kernel drivers on popos.  What would I need to do to be able to take this fix and apply it to my system and make it publicly available to all users?   https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/340/commits

Re: bluetooth driver on system76 pang15

I've been having the same problem as you. Luckily, by following the commits in the PR you linked I managed to verify that those fixes are upstreamed to linux 6.13, which is in testing right now.

It should be a matter of days for this to be released.

Hum... I just tested with 6.13 from testing and I still get `No default controller available`. Having `system76-dkms-git` and `system76-acpi-dkms` also doesn't seem to help (in neither kernel versions), so maybe those patches are not the definitive solution?

The patch is not in 6.13, it is in 6.14 which was not released yet.
I solved this by compiling 6.13 with the patch, until 6.14 is released.

(this is for Manjaro, you'll need to do minor adjustments for Arch)

Ahhh, that makes sense. I can wait a little longer then, thanks for the heads up!
