And the log of the lockup:

It looks like the firmware 'opt_flags' must be different, so this may be a
contributing factor.

In fact I found a log from 4.1.0rc7, which shows they recently changed!!

These are checked here, but code hasn't changed recently:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/base/firmware_class.c?id=6593d9245bc66e6e3cf4ba6d365a7833110c1402#n1135


There has been changes to the btbcm.c code wrt to firmware loading:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/bluetooth/btbcm.c?id=18aeb4445aa00f6f402ba3a92a2e9ff3d13882b4
