* Add 0800-fix-lp1720684.patch to ensure the default Bluetooth audio profile is the higher quality A2DP rather than HSP/HFP.

But the audio quality was poor, because the default audio profile was the low-quality HSP/HFP one. When I switched it to the A2DP profile, it sounded perfect again. Can we make A2DP the default playback profile for Bluetooth audio devices?
