Kai-Heng Feng, as per Broadcom, they provide firmware via Windows update:
https://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/
Hence, why not have a package in Ubuntu that scripts pulling the
relevant file from Windows update, extracts the relevant bits, and moves
it into the proper location?
This is nothing more than automating what folks already do to WORKAROUND
this issue, without forcing everyone to hold their breath waiting for a
license from Broadcom.

Title:
Bluetooth firmware missing for BCM43142A0-04ca-2009
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I am using an Acer E 15. I am not sure how to find out the
specifications of my bluetooth device. I found nothing with lsusb or
lspci. The only thing i found was that:
dmesg | grep bluetooth
[ 12.314809] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for
brcm/BCM43142A0-04ca-2009.hcd failed with error -2
Until Ubuntu 14.10 the bluetooth device was not recognized at all.
Since the update to Ubuntu 15.04 i can activate it through Gnome
system settings and make it visible. But it will not be found by any
device and will not find any itself.
WORKAROUND: Download:
https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/blob/master/brcm/BCM43142A0-04ca-2009.hcd
and copy it to:
/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM.hcd
