I've bisected this down to bluez commit
b8486f046aadbe0145519c86a087e880fd1d638f ("Move more hciops specific
functionality into hciops").

I'm not sure why things change after this commit. But please note that this
commit does move code around that is specific to this Broadcom controller. So
this bisect isn't obviously bogus. See this annotation snippet:

+static uint8_t get_inquiry_mode(int index)
+{
[...]
+       if (VER(index).manufacturer == 15) {
[...]
+               if (VER(index).hci_rev == 0x09 &&
+                                       VER(index).lmp_subver == 0x6963)
+                       return 1;
[That is this controller!]
[...]
+       }
[...]
+       return 0;
+}

Up to 4.81 the headset (apparently) stays in pairing mode. Perhaps it never
receives a request. By 4.85 that behavior changes. The headset leaves pairing
mode if one tries to pair from the laptop using this controller. I haven't yet
bothered to further pinpoint the commit that causes that change in behavior.

Anyhow, it is getting likely that this is not a kernel bug. Should I move this
to a bluez specific bug tracker?
