bug and I'll be happy to add it to linux-firmware.

Title:
  Bluetooth firmware for dell xps 13

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  STEPS:
  1. Install 16.04 current on dell xps 13
  2. Try connecting a bluetooth device.

  
  EXPECTED:
  I expect devices to just connect

  ACTUAL:
  I had to follow a guide here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_(2015) to enable the firmware however it looks like the dell driver pack may include a .deb file for it.  From Dell xps13_A08.fish.tar.gz contains a bluetooth firmware patch too by the look of things.
