It seems the change broke Bluetooth on some Intel platforms. I'm not
sure yet, but
see here:

https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/issues/29#issuecomment-357583782

And for me the change is odd.

Why by the way neither Heikki, nor me had been Cc'ed with the change?

Perhaps I need to submit something to maintainer data base.

For now I would rather revert it and give another try.
