So everything appears to work as intended. First, the firmware needs to
be in your initramfs if you want to avoid that initial fw load failure.

And after that you need to provide a valid device address as these
devices ship without one.

Once you set the address, the firmware should be loaded if it hasn't
been already.

Yeah, I'm not sure how you set the device address with the Android
stack, but there must be some way as there are other bluetooth
controllers out there which similarly need a valid address before they
can be used.
