Can you provide some information on the status of the patch with regards
to getting it merged upstream? Has it been sent upstream, what sort of
feedback has it received, is it getting applied to a subsystem
maintainer's tree, etc?

Title:
  Bluetooth with AR9462 doesn't work (New ID /Firmware)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This is (kind of) a duplicate of:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1024884
  (please read)

  I can't use Bluetooth with my AR9462 WLAN/BT-Combo.
  In the link above, it has been fixed, but not for my Adapter ID/Firmware:

  System:
  Ubuntu 14.10 utopic 64bit - 3.16.0-24-generic x86_64

  lspci -nnk
  02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462
  Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01)
   Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc Device [11ad:0802]
   Kernel driver in use: ath9k

  lsusb (identified Bluetooth Device)
  Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04ca:300d Lite-On Technology Corp.

  ath9k.conf
  options ath9k btcoex_enable=1

  The "04ca:300d" ID is not in the Kernel, so i added it via dkms.

  I took ath3k.c and btusb.c out of the 3.16.0-24-generic source files
  and changed them:

  sudo dkms add -m ar9462 -v 1.5.1
  sudo dkms build -m ar9462 -v 1.5.1
  sudo dkms install -m ar9462 -v 1.5.1 --force

  NOTE: Since i didn't change the Version in the 2 Files, you have to use --force when installing.
  Because of this, the attached deb package (in the same style/versioning as in the bug report above)
  doesn't work with autoinstall.

  dkms status
  ar9462, 1.5.1, 3.16.0-24-generic, x86_64: installed

  Now the new output:

  My patch works, but just like in the bug report above, a Firmware file is missing:
  AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu

  I found it neither in linux-firmware (http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ar3k)
  nor elsewhere.
