Abdessamad Derraz 0450ab1b72 fix: cite primehack's Realtek loader at its pin 
A comment named the Bluetooth directory twice, a path no revision
holds, and every firmware ref sat ten lines above the case it meant.
Each now cites its case and return at the pinned commit. The schema
check reads profiles as text and refuses a citation that repeats
its own directories.
