No. I have an RTL8723BU device on order. Once it arrives, I will be able to 
test. The vendor BT driver relies on some features that were removed in kernel 
4.1. As a proper driver for the Realtek BT devices is in kernel 4.2, I suggest 
that you use it, rather than 4.1.

No, there is none. I refuse to submit any code that I have not tested. In 
addition, I doubt that the vendor driver will ever be submitted to staging. It 
is just too much work to clean up that ugly code. More likely, the device will 
be added to the new driver rtl8xxxu that has just been submitted.
