From btusb.c: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth-next.git/tree/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c#n4189
/* Realtek devices lose their updated firmware over global
* suspend that means host doesn't send SET_FEATURE
* (DEVICE_REMOTE_WAKEUP)
*/

Runtime suspend always requires remote wakeup to be set and reset
resume isn't used there.

During system suspend, when remote wakeup is not set, RTL8822CE loses
the FW loaded by the driver and any state currently in the controller.
This causes the kernel and the controller state to go out of sync.
One of the issues we observed on the Realtek controller without the
reset resume quirk was that paired or connected devices would just
stop working after resume.

I think the confusion here stems from what is actually being turned
off between our two boards and what we're referring to as firmware :)

In your case, the Realtek controller retains firmware unless the
platform cuts of power to USB (which it does during S3).
In my case, the Realtek controller loses firmware when Remote Wakeup
isn't set, even if the platform doesn't cut power to USB.

In your case, since you don't need to enforce the 'Remote Wakeup' bit,
if you unset the BTUSB_WAKEUP_DISABLE for that VID:PID, you should get
the desirable behavior (which is actually the default behavior; remote
wake will always be asserted instead of only during Runtime Suspend).

@Alex -- What is the common behavior for Realtek controllers? Should
we set BTUSB_WAKEUP_DISABLE only on RTL8822CE or should we unset it
only on RTL8821CE?

No, not entirely. Btusb requires remote wakeup between open()
and close(). On a closed device it is not set to save more power.

reset_resume() is basically incompatible with remote wakeup.
Remote wakeup implies that you will ask the device to perform
some action after wakeup. A reset destroys that capability.

That is true after every suspend, whether runtime or system.
The device throws away its firmware when it does not need it.
You have control over this feature.
Hence the quirk enables remote
wakeup upon close().
That is the most important part of the original patch.

The logic on whether reset_resume() should be used is imperfect.

Technically we tell the BIOS before suspend the system whether
a device should wake up the system during sleep and hope that
the BIOS is clever enough not to cut power to them.
Compliance is mixed.

Well, no. Only between open() and close()
Please always test the case of Bluetooth not being used. I know
it is not sexy, but surprisingly common.
