Bluetooth not working anymore with kernel 5.10.0-2-amd64?

After two weeks and several kernel updates later the index error is gone (EDIT: Thought so, but after reviewing journalctl it’s still there!), but bluetooth still isn’t working.
What I’ve done so far:

  • Tested several firmware-atheros packages (the newest from 2021, an older one which I had on my harddrive from 2018 and a newer one from 2019)
  • disabled bluetooth service and reenabled it (via systemctl)
  • system restarts

What I see:

  • rfkill sees it and is able to block/unblock it
  • bluetoothctl -> show results in:
    No default controller available
  • btmgmt power off (or on) results in:
    Set Powered for hci0 failed with status 0x11 (Invalid Index)

Does anybody have another idea how to pinpoint the issue?

EDIT: Seems to be fixed with the kernel version 5.10.0-6, see here:
