Github bluez bluez issues 614 0 None closed PS5 controller will no longer pair with bluetoothd 2023-11-01 22:32:46 UTC

Description Mateus Rodrigues Costa 2023-11-01 22:17:19 UTC 
This issue likely has been happening since Fedora 38 but I only notice it a few time and didn't pay much mind due to gaming less recently, but a while ago I switched to Fedora 39 and when I decided to game and the issue remained.

Basically, whenever I try to connect the controller to my laptop via Bluetooth it will pair, connect for a bit and then disconnect. This issue is not on the controller side since I also own a PS4 and the controller works wirelessly correctly with it.

The sincgle useful message I get when the issue appears is:

```
nov 01 19:03:58 centauro bluetoothd[1222]: src/service.c:service_probe() input-hid profile probe failed for <snip>
```
Where the <snip> replaces the device address.

It seems for whatever bluez is failing to see that the controller is a crontoller.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to pair the DualShock4 v2 via Gnome Settings' Bluetooth panel
Actual Results:  
Controller connects and then quickly disconnects

Expected Results:  
Controller should connect and keep connected

Log message:

```
nov 01 19:03:58 centauro bluetoothd[1222]: src/service.c:service_probe() input-hid profile probe failed for <snip>
```

bluez version:

```
 bluez-5.69-1.fc39.x86_64
 bluez-cups-5.69-1.fc39.x86_64
 bluez-libs-5.69-1.fc39.x86_64

Comment 1 Mateus Rodrigues Costa 2023-11-01 22:32:46 UTC 
Found upstream bug at https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/614.

Apparently the choice are either applying https://github.com/bluez/bluez/commit/3a9c637010f8dc1ba3e8382abe01065761d4f5bb on top of 5.70 or downgrading to 5.68.
Comment 2 Mateus Rodrigues Costa 2023-11-02 15:35:47 UTC 
Marking with CommonBugs so it can be a Proposed Common Issue on Fedora Discussion.
Comment 3 Mateus Rodrigues Costa 2023-11-09 18:59:12 UTC 
bluez 5.70 made its way on the Fedora 39 stable release and the problem remains:

```
 bluez-5.70-1.fc39.x86_64
 bluez-cups-5.70-1.fc39.x86_64
 bluez-libs-5.70-1.fc39.x86_64
 bluez-obexd-5.70-1.fc39.x86_64
```

Would it be possible to backport the patch mentioned above? (https://github.com/bluez/bluez/commit/3a9c637010f8dc1ba3e8382abe01065761d4f5bb)

The problem still persists for me on Fedora 40, as well as many people in this GitHub Issue thread https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/614

The bluez updates appear to have not fully fixed the issue.
