dmesg output on Linux Mint during reproduction of bug

I noticed that my Bluetooth headsets would fail to reconnect to my NixOS laptop
running `6.13.5` if I toggled (disable -> enable) the BT module. When this
occurs, attempting to connect again via KDE's Bluetooth panel (or the Cinnamon
BT applet in case of Linux Mint) would fail with a "Connection Failed" error.
The only way to fix this is to unpair the devices, then re-pair them and
connect to them again. Then BT will continue to work until the module is
toggled and/or the laptop enters sleep (I guess the module gets power-cycled
during sleep).

Under Windows this does not occur. On a live Linux Mint boot running kernel
`6.8.0-51-generic` the same issue occurs. I am not sure if this is a regression
or not as I have not tested earlier versions of the kernel.

Attached `dmesg` output from the Linux Mint reproduction, after toggling the
module on and attempting to connect to the previously paired device.

I also posted about this on the NixOS forums here
(https://discourse.nixos.org/t/cant-reconnect-to-paired-bluetooth-devices-after-toggling-bt-unless-i-re-pair/61366)
and that post contains some screenshots of the issue occurring on KDE, as well
as `dmesg` output from the NixOS system (which seems to be more sparse compared
to the Linux Mint output).

This was tested on a ThinkPad T480 running the Intel Corporation Wireless 8265
/ 8275 (rev 78) card, on NixOS-unstable `6.13.5`. I tested two headsets (Buds2
Pro / Sony WH-1000XM5) and they both "fail" in the same way.
