The next OpenWrt release will be based on kernel 3.14 so I would suggest you also use kernel 3.14. Instead of taking the bluetooth stuff directly from the kernel you could also take it from backports. It is in package/kernel/mac80211/ This way you can use an old kernel 3.14 and use the most recent bluetooth stack. To do this you would have to move the bluetooth stuff from package/kernel/linux/modules/netdevices.mk to package/kernel/mac80211/Makefile. What are you planing to do? I bought some bluetooth dongles some time ago to try out a 6lowpan network over bluetooth with OpenWrt, but I haven't started.
