So the easiest fix for this would be to
 a) ignore 0x0cf3,0x3002 in btusb
 b) add it to ath3k firmware loading
 c) change the ath3k firmware to load with 0x0cf3,0x3003 (or whatever
    else you want, as long as it's not 0x3000 and not 0x3002)

Then the ignore in btusb won't affect ath3k after that new firmware was
loaded.
