This patch has been recently merged to linux-next as commit 6ac517d8cf8b 
("Bluetooth: fix use-bdaddr-property quirk"). Unfortunately it breaks 
bluetooth operation on my Raspberry Pi 3b+, 4b+ and Khadas VIM3 based 
test systems.

Before this patch on Raspberry Pi 4b+:

Reverting $subject on top of linux-next fixes this 'issue'.

Let me know if you need more information about my test systems or to 
make some other tests.
