Applied to master, thanks.

Peter, Yann: I have read your reviews, and they both have good points.
However, I think John's patch keeps the state of a minimal defconfig,
it only makes it a bit easier to have operational Bluetooth. I
certainly don't mind seeing further improvements on how our RPi support
is done, but I believe John's patch was OK as-is as it improves the
situation for users, without any specific downside that I can think of.

Best regards,

Thomas
