It's trash hardware.
Xbone owners should be shaming ms into oblivion for making the kernel have to pollute itself with this garbage.
Note how ps5 controllers need 'power' (optional).
The wireless adapter functions extremely well and is no different than any Wi-Fi 2.4GHz dongle, in essence.
This driver also works really well.
I fail to see how two things working well together somehow results in your rant.
Because I've worked on hardware, and have drivers in the kernel.
It's trash hardware if you're duplicating the functionality of something else and not following the standards.

Microsoft could do a firmware update to fix their worthless broken shit, Bluetooth is like 20 years old now, you'd think even a company with their heads that far up their asses could get it right by now. For the dongle, have it present hid.
They're just adding more trash drivers to the kernel we shouldnt need.to throw shit code for their shit drivers into the kernel repo everyone uses.
Alright what drivers have you worked on?
A bunch, mostly networking but some sriov and arm64 and old mips64 stuff.
Enough to have been on the bad side of one of linus's rants.
This is shit engineering and msft should be shamed for it.
