Yes, There was some degradation in audio quality which improved when we
gave priority to SCO.

Do you see any potential problem with that? I will re-verify this anyway.

Seems you are giving priority to SCO packets, right? why?

you might actually have to re-design your driver then. Since essentially
you need to ensure that events like HCI_Conn_Complete arrive in the
proper order to make sure that ACL and SCO handles are properly
available before ACL or SCO packets are send.

This has been always the problem. Especially with USB endpoints where
SCO packets and ACL packets are on different endpoints. Getting the
order right is pretty tricky.

In addition you have the completed packet events that need to be handled
properly. Otherwise you might screw up the flow control.

We can't do that, prioritize SCO over HCI Events. This can lead to weird sync
problems, so please remove this and send me a new patch.

The reason why I went with this approach was
1. In the schedule_work path, we were doing some power management logic which was relevent only for ACL packets.
2. Without this somehow the SCO audio quality was bad and the controller team mention that they were not getting SCO packets in this rate.

Any suggestions from you?

Suraj

We can't do that, prioritize SCO over HCI Events. This can lead to weird sync
problems, so please remove this and send me a new patch.
