patch for ath3k.c and btusb.c

I have a Sony Vaio VPCEH1S0E with a bluetooth adapter that was not working until now :)
lsusb show me this:

0489:e027 Foxconn / Hon Hai

which adapter is an Atheros AR3011 (ath3k kernel module).
To get it working the file ath3k.c and btusb.c must be updated with its "code" (0489:e027).
I've attached a patch for ath3k.c and btusb.c
I'm running:
Gentoo amd64 desktop profile with GNOME;
Kernel 3.6.*
linux-firmware 20120917
After that patched has been applied lsusb show me:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0cf3:3005 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR3011 Bluetooth

and the adapter is now working :)

Where did this patch originate from? Are you the author?

Similar patch (different diff but same VID/PIDs) is at

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/%5Bsolved%5D-bluetooth-adapter-not-working-0489-e027-foxconn-hon-hai-4175430169/

which links to these issues

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg06240.html
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/898826
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=126487

and it is mentioned to add the VID/PIDs to the lists in

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath3k#How_to_tell_AR3011_and_AR3012

Since multiple users experience this, it might be worth reporting this upstream at the Linux kernel bugzilla and leave a link here for reference.
Comment 3 Paolo 2012-11-01 19:16:57 UTC
yes, i am the author of this patch.
I've already reported this bug at the Linux bugzilla ;) (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49521)
Comment 4 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-11-01 19:40:53 UTC
Since this is a trivial patch that has been reported upstream, I'm going to mark this bug as resolved for now as there's nothing we can do at this point.
