Inconsistent Bluetooth info shown under Peripherals (Hackintool 3.8.5, macOS 12.3)

[abenraj]

Hello there,

First and foremost, can't thank you enough for creating such an essential and functionally powerful tool, especially for us hackintoshers! Massive respect to the creator and corroborators involved.

I believe this is more of a cosmetic issue; most likely a bug or some kind of limitation when native Apple Airport combo cards are present but the issue seen is as follows:

1. Under normal operating conditions, Hackintool appears to be pulling some sort of generic Bluetooth info with the Device name: BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth) and device ID 0a5C:4500 which I believe does not reflect the actual BT hardware present, similar to this post under issue #157. SysProfile and IOReg values however show the relevant BT info correctly tho.

2. Hackintool is however able to pull the correct BT device name (as shown in IOReg and SysProfile) only after switching the Bluetooth module OFF and then ON via System PrefPane/Menu Bar which seems to exhibit a bug like behavior here or possibly from a registry refresh?

BT Chipset info: BCM_20702B0 carrying device ID 05ac:828f (part of Apple combo module BCM94360CS2) works native OOB with no additional kexts required.

Attaching IOReg dump if any helpful: IOReg extract.zip

EDIT: Have to mention, there is no hindrance whatsoever with the overall functionality of Bluetooth on macOS 12 so if the above mentioned issue happens to be the expected behavior of Hackintool with native cards on macOS 12 then I guess this issue can be closed since this more likely appears to be a limitation with regards to how macOS 12's bluetoothd process updates this info for native Apple cards by design. 3rd party chipsets however do not exhibit this behavior tho probably due to the dependence on BrcmPatchRAM, BlueToolFixup etc.
