Do you have "enable_uart=1" in your config.txt? That tells the FW that 
you want to use a UART on the GPIO header. That should cause the FW to 
set up the pin mux for the mini UART, hence solving the receive problem. 
Without that config.txt option, the UART on the Pi 3 won't work reliably 
even if you make the kernel force the pinmux, since the UART's clock 
source can vary, which will vary the baud rate that the UART operates 
at, and cause communication failures.

Configuring the pinmux for the PL011 UART for the connection to the BT 
module might be legitimate.
