Title:
  168c:0032 ath3k built-in bluetooth cannot load firmware - sporadic

Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is on an ASUS N550JV.

  Basically, the Bluetooth is sporadically available after
  restart/login. When not available, we get an error msg in dmesg about
  a patch that failed to load.

  This bug seems similar to
