Would you then say that commit 9bda7e8c2130de9a3340ebd0e6cc1dedc2eae338
is incorrect? A quick grep doesn't show any instances of checking this
capability in the BNEP code of the kernel. Exactly which system call is
it that needs it?

If you answered positively to my first question, please send a patch for
that as well.
