By losing power the BT controller is thrown out of its cell.

That is if you build such a module statically the firmware must be included in the kernel image. > > > > Of just have request_firmware() > > > > actually sleep until userspace is ready.

Never free the firmware while the hardware is connected or the system sleeping. If you must do this there is a notifier chain.
