Attempt at fixing Bluetooth lockup on Sixaxis timeout.

Please can you provide more information ? @gizmo98 - as you have been more involved in this than me - any feedback you have is welcome. Cheers.

Been a while since I used RetroPie, updated to a pi3. When using ps3 controllers when the controller timeout kicks in the Bluetooth would lockup and not allow any controllers to be connected until reboot. I believe this is due to an updated bluez that requires the sockets connected to the bluetooth hardware to be flushed and closed properly. After implementing this patch the controllers work fine and Bluetooth stopped locking up. I've heard word this this is for the other pi's as well but I named it pi3 at the time because of my tests.

Thank you, hopefully this fixes some problems until the merge into bluez. I would like to have a small look into assisting in that as well. Do you guys have a line of communication open? Forums or IRC?

Was bluez updated in the last months? I did not had any timeout lookup problem with raspbian jessie. But i have not updated my setup for a while.

[joolswills]

Just some patches in Feb / May

[gizmo98]

Interesting. My setup is not up to date but it is also not so old. ;-) I will keep an eye on it next time.
