I have no idea what went wrong, but it looks like an init issue and is
maybe actually a kernel bug that we already fixed.

This will never work. The patch has 2.6.21 in its name and that means it
only applied to 2.6.21 source code.

Upgrading the kernel to 2.6.21 is easier. It might be possible to
backport all the Bluetooth patches, but that takes time and I would
personally charge a lot for doing that.
