- Enabling
CONFIG_BTexposes additional Kconfig prompts that are still absent from this fragment—for exampleCONFIG_BT_6LOWPAN,CONFIG_BT_MSFTEXT,CONFIG_BT_AOSPEXT,CONFIG_BT_DEBUGFS, andCONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB_AUTOSUSPEND. The build invokesprocess_configs.shwith-natbase/comps/kernel/kernel.spec:2250-2252, solistnewconfigtreats these as unset items and fails the build. Regenerate/validate this fragment against the 6.18 source and explicitly commit every newly reported Bluetooth option, including# ... is not setentries for unwanted features.

base/comps/kernel/6.18-x86_64-azl.config:2124
- These options build UART and VirtIO Bluetooth transports, whereas the PR description says this change adds USB HCI drivers. They add unrelated modules beyond the stated x86 USB support; explicitly disable these transports unless the PR scope and rationale are expanded.
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART=m
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4=y
CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_INTEL=y
CONFIG_BT_VIRTIO=m
Enable the Bluetooth subsystem and common USB Bluetooth controller drivers as modules in the x86_64 kernel configuration. RFKILL support is already built in. Building the Bluetooth core, RFCOMM/BNEP/HIDP, and USB HCI drivers as modules makes common Bluetooth adapters available while keeping them out of the base kernel image. The arm64 configuration already enables Bluetooth.

- The Atheros USB firmware loader is explicitly disabled, so AR300x/ath3k USB adapters will still fail even though
btusbis enabled. The pinned kernel's Kconfig describesBT_ATH3Kas the firmware download driver for these Bluetooth USB chipsets, and both the existing arm64 AZL and x86 Fedora/RHEL configs build it as a module. Enable it here so the advertised common USB-controller support includes Atheros devices.
# CONFIG_BT_ATH3K is not set
