Kernel 6.6.47 compiled fix bt5 mouse

The problem with bluetooth v5 mouse is discussed in the forum:

We need the 'uhid' kernel module, so I have compiled the 6.6.47 kernel, with uhid builtin not as a module. The Gentoo wiki was used as a guide:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bluetooth

Comparing configuration of the 6.6.39 kernel (in EasyOS 6.1.1 and 6.2) with 6.6.47:

6.6.39                    6.6.47
CONFIG_BT_HIDP=m CONFIG_BT_HIDP=y
CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT=m CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT=y
# CONFIG_UHID is not set CONFIG_UHID=y

But we do need to remember that "#UserspaceHID=true" has to be uncommented in file /etc/bluetooth/input.conf, as documented by the Fatdog guys. OK, done, have made that a permanent change.
