The Sony "earplugs" WF-1000XM3 are two devices that should somehow pair as a
single device.
With Linux it does not work correctly for reasons unknown.
It means I see the device connected, but I can't select it as audio output
device.
One effect are repeating syslog messages like this:
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: advertising data len corrected

Using hcidump I get messages like this:

Trying a manual pair via bluetoothctl, I can scan, pair, and connect.
Seems the bluetooth stack is not ready for BT 5.0 devices, or the device is
somewhat non-standard.
