Bug Description
I am running ubuntu Disco, recently upgraded from Beaver.
Now when I pair my MPOW T5 bluetooth earbuds, they will pair, connect, then Bluetooth on the machine will restart. This is visible by the Bluetooth applet showing Bluetooth being switched off then on again. This will happen a few times, then bluetooth will lock up, rendering it and the settings applet frozen. Requiring a restart to fix.
It is like something in Bluetooth subsystem is crashing out when pairing with the T5
I used to use this MPOW T5 with ubuntu Beaver without issue and am tempted just to roll back to my image from then But here's hoping someone can help identify why this is happening.
I am also using this on my Disco installation on my Pixelbook (which was a clean install, not an upgrade), so maybe that's something worth noting.

As an experiment took the 19.04 Ubuntu live disk, booted up from that and paired mt MPOW T5. Bluetooth crash looped as well. This eliminates anything I've installed as cause.
I suspect something in the driver is not liking the bluetooth device on my machine, since it paired with 19.04 on my Pixelbook okay without crash looping.
