>>> Non of these Yocto patches are actually needed. The culprit is the .oper_speed setting to be 4Mbps. Once you reduce that to 921600 thing will start to work smoothly. I sent a patch that takes the .oper_speed out completely and only applies it for the ACPI based devices where we know that it works.

Once Loic’s resends the patches we can get them into bluetooth-next and start merging these towards upstream. After that, Bluetooth should work just out of the box like with any USB dongle.

The BT's CTS/RTS are tied to 3v3/ground.

BT's PCM is connected to gpio 28-31 on the pi3, which you can pinmux to
the i2s controller (pcm_gpio28 pin group).
I'm not clear on what you're asking for, or where I would go to find
anything else. However, for integration stuff on the board, Phil, Dom,
and Gordon at RPi are likely to know more.
