Personally, I'd prefer it if you didn't break bisectability with your
series. As it is, if someone applies just the first 3 patches they'll
end up with broken Bluetooth.

IMO the order should be:
1. Binding (currently patch #1)
2. Trogdor dt patch, which won't hurt on its own (currently patch #5)
3. Bluetooth subsystem patch handling the quirk (currently patch #2)
4. Qualcomm change to fix the endianness and handle the quirk squashed
into 1 patch (currently patch #3 + #4)

...and the patch that changes the Qualcomm driver should make it
obvious that it depends on the trogdor DT patch in the change
description.

With patches #3 and #4 combined, feel free to add my Reviewed-by tag
as both patches look fine to me.
