Well, I wouldn't object to reverting it in Linus' tree too, since AFAIK,
this is something that can be configured by user-space policy, no? And
that way, no user space is surprised by the sudden additional
requirements on managing bluetooth wakeup.

I'm not intimately familiar with bluetooth though; I just (think I) know
a regression when I see one, as well as the difference between a feature
addition and a bugfix. But I'm not sure I'm the authority on what to do
with this feature. Many who are CC'd should know better.
