Bluetooth issues past 6.17.5

I rolled back and pinned

IgnorePkg = linux-zen linux-zen-headers

Seems like more regressions in the bluetooth stack crept in. Last update, speakers stopped working. I rolled back the kernel packages and I’m good again. Just an FYI. Last time this happened the regressions didn’t get fixed til the next kernel version.
