Hi,

Thanks for the patch! I have just tested the patch on my MacBookAir9,1
with some modifications to make it patch with the master branch of the
Linux kernel, and it works great! The device is recognized by the
system; and I can scan, pair, connect, and play audio just fine. If
you want me to send over the modified patch that I have used, please
let me know.

Thanks!

Thanks for confirming. You should not need to modify the patch, though,
as it has been created against 6.7-rc6 and there hasn't been any changes
to this driver since rc1.
