Greetings,

In my set up the bluetooth hardware device(*Bluetooth 9460/9560 
Jefferson Peak (JfP) Intel Corp*), the bluetooth stack (*hcsecd + 
bthidd*) are working properly, I am able to scan the nearby devices with 
*bluetooth-config *script however pairing fails.

I confirm that bluetooth *netgraph* and *ubt0* interface is up running, 
also the*iwmbt-firmware* package is installed.

Has anybody succeeded to pair *playstation* *4* controller?

When finishing pairing the ps4 controller *bthidd *message
*Writing HID descriptor block to /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf ... failed.*

Dmesg log*
Dec 31 07:28:40 earth bthidd[3304]: Could not connect to 
1c:a0:b8:3d:5f:69. Permission denied (13)

*Thanks in advance
