Followup-For: Bug #782331

This bug has already been reported upstream[0].

One of the related comments[1] suggests, to simply provide the not found 
/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e6.hcd file to work around the bug. For 
that purpose i downloaded the windows driver from my laptop manufacturer's 
homepage (i.e. [3]) and extracted the files. For my bluetooth adapter the 
bcbtums-win7x64-brcm.inf text file pointed me to the 
BCM20702A1_001.002.014.0449.0462.hex file. I converted this file using 
hex2hcd[2] and placed it at the above mentioned location, which solved the 
problem for me (With bluetooth still working, too):
[   37.989999] bluetooth hci0: firmware: direct-loading firmware 
brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e6.hcd
[   37.994029] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: patching hci_ver=06 hci_rev=1000 
lmp_ver=06 lmp_subver=220e

Note that the attached .hcd file available at the upstream report differs from 
my version. So if you are also affected by this bug, i suggest you convert the 
file yourself, following my instructions above.
