>>> unfortunately we don't have full schematics for RPI3, but according to firmware dt-blob.dts [1] there is a GPIO called BT_ON. This GPIO is controlled by the GPIO expander on the RPI3 board. The necessary driver for this expander is still out of tree (last mainlining attempt [2]).

what is the default behavior after reboot. BT_ON enabled or not?
