Keep in mind that when using the H4 uart protocol without any error correction (as H5 has), it is possible that random bit errors occur on the wire. I wouldn't like my kernel to crash due to this. Bit errors happen all the time on RPi 4 for example at the default baud rate if you just do some heavy stress testing, or use an application that transfers a lot of data over Bluetooth.
