    Description

      QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgentPrivate::start checks the  ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission and if not set, requests it. According to https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth/permissions the location permission is no longer needed if the app does not use scan results to derive physical location.

      I my opinion, checking for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION should be dropped.
