Mateusz Jończyk 696bd36221 Bluetooth: silence a dmesg error message in hci_request.c
On kernel 6.1-rcX, I have been getting the following dmesg error message
on every boot, resume from suspend and rfkill unblock of the Bluetooth
device:

	Bluetooth: hci0: HCI_REQ-0xfcf0

After some investigation, it turned out to be caused by
commit dd50a864ff ("Bluetooth: Delete unreferenced hci_request code")
which modified hci_req_add() in net/bluetooth/hci_request.c to always
print an error message when it is executed. In my case, the function was
executed by msft_set_filter_enable() in net/bluetooth/msft.c, which
provides support for Microsoft vendor opcodes.

As explained by Brian Gix, "the error gets logged because it is using a
deprecated (but still working) mechanism to issue HCI opcodes" [1]. So
this is just a debugging tool to show that a deprecated function is
executed. As such, it should not be included in the mainline kernel.
See for example
commit 771c035372 ("deprecate the '__deprecated' attribute warnings entirely and for good")
Additionally, this error message is cryptic and the user is not able to
do anything about it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
