The panic itself is caused by the following upstream commit:

    [Bluetooth] Eliminate checks for impossible conditions in IRQ handler
    
    Our info structure and info->hdev is always passed to the IRQ handler,
    so we don't have to worry about these checks in every interrupt.
    
    Leave a BUG_ON() just to help unwary programmers, but these could
    probably be removed as well.

The change was to remove a check which would print the error message and
return by a BUG_ON statement that causes an Oops. Since the error was
there before, this seems to be a race that already was there but was
handled less fatally. I am not sure whether it is possible for an IRQ to
be triggered between pcmcia_request_irq and dtl1_open (which fills the
info->hdev) but it somehow sounds like it.
