Bluetooth: btusb: Add Realtek RTL8821CE device 13d3:3558
PATCH 1/1 Bluetooth: btusb: Add Realtek RTL8821CE device 13d3:3558
The IMC Networks Bluetooth controller with USB ID 13d3:3558 uses an RTL8821CE. Without BTUSB_REALTEK, btusb uses generic initialization and does not load the controller firmware. BLE connections then fail before pairing with HCI error 0x3e.
Add the device ID to the RTL8821CE table. This enables loading rtl_bt/rtl8821c_fw.bin and rtl_bt/rtl8821c_config.bin, after which a BLE HID keyboard pairs successfully.

Tested on a CachyOS 7.1.6 kernel with BlueZ 5.87 and a Corsair K65 Plus BLE keyboard.
