This reverts commit dbbccdc4ce
.
It turns out that the "legacy" users aren't so legacy at all, and that
turning off the legacy ioctl will break the current Qt bluetooth stack
for bluetooth LE devices that were released just a couple of months ago.
So it's simply not true that this was a legacy interface that hasn't
been needed and is only limited to old legacy BT devices. Because I
actually read Kconfig help messages, and actively try to turn off
features that I don't need, I turned the option off.
Then I spent _way_ too much time debugging BLE issues until I realized
that it wasn't the Qt and subsurface development that had broken one of
my dive computer BLE downloads, but simply my broken kernel config.
Maybe in a decade it will be true that this is a legacy interface. And
maybe with a better help-text and correct dependencies, this kind of
legacy removal might be acceptable. But as things are right now both
the commit message and the Kconfig help text were misleading, and the
Kconfig option had the wrong dependenencies.
There's no reason to keep that broken Kconfig option in the tree.

Bluetooth is low-cost, low-power, short-range wireless technology.
|
|
It was designed as a replacement for cables and other short-range
|
|
technologies like IrDA. Bluetooth operates in personal area range
|
|
that typically extends up to 10 meters. More information about
|
|
Bluetooth can be found at <http://www.bluetooth.com/>.
|
|
|
|
Linux Bluetooth subsystem consist of several layers:
|
|
Bluetooth Core
|
|
HCI device and connection manager, scheduler
|
|
SCO audio links
|
|
L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol)
|
|
SMP (Security Manager Protocol) on LE (Low Energy) links
|
|
HCI Device drivers (Interface to the hardware)
|
|
RFCOMM Module (RFCOMM Protocol)
|
|
BNEP Module (Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol)
|
|
CMTP Module (CAPI Message Transport Protocol)
|
|
HIDP Module (Human Interface Device Protocol)
|
|
|
|
Say Y here to compile Bluetooth support into the kernel or say M to
|
|
compile it as module (bluetooth).
|
|
|
|
To use Linux Bluetooth subsystem, you will need several user-space
|
|
utilities like hciconfig and bluetoothd. These utilities and updates
|
|
to Bluetooth kernel modules are provided in the BlueZ packages. For
|
|
more information, see <http://www.bluez.org/>.
